Just wondering if anyone had their Ortho re-brace them after getting debanded? I've had my braces off for a week now and there are some spaces I know CAN be closed but I was going to go for a cosmetic restoration. After further consultation w/dentist, I have decided I do not want to pursue that route. Is it too late, or do you think my Ortho will be willing/able to fix this for me? I know there will probably be extra costs involved, but likely nothing compared to the cosmetic restoration bill! I have an appointment with my Ortho next week but I just wanted to see if others had experiences like this.

Thanks

I've heard elsewhere on this site that certain types of retainers can close gaps, but that's just what I've heard. I think they are called Hawleys? Anyone else know more about this?

I was wondering the same thing. There are some things that I'd like fixed (I got debanded exactly a week ago) but am afraid to ask because I don't want them to think I'm difficult to please/unreasonable/just downright annoying.

Let me know what you find out.
