After a few months in traditional braces only on my bottom teeth and having a horrible experience with my ortho I was ready to rip off the brackets myself. I had heard of removable braces/retainers because one of my friends had done it but I was really skeptical. I posted here to see if anyone knew anything and nobody did. I decided to go for it anyway and have had an amazing experience so far. (Had them for about 4 months now). They basicly look like a retainer without the plastic. you wear them all the time except when eating, but you can also take them out to go to a party, for an interview, etc. I am amazed at the progress my teeth have made in just a few months! Anyone else use this method? I'd love to hear other peoples experiences/results.
