:cry:
I hope this part of it may be my imagination but I don't think so:
I think my front 2 teeth have moved back out towards bucked in the 2 days I have been debraced.
I have worn my HAwley all the time except cleaning teeth and eating.
But it may not be tight or strong enough.
I didn't tell my ortho yet because I just called him to talk about switching to a bonded retainer. He talked to me for a minute but said then that he was in the middle of 5 patients ( exxageration?) so I left it at that.
But ugh. I started with really out front 2 teeth. It is way better- but I think when the braces were on and the first day off they were not bucked at all. Now I notice the front two in front of the otheres some again.
I think this retainer is not strong enough to hold my teeth which are a bit not the strongest.
So- if they have moved, will he have to rebrcae me to move them back?
I knew the bonded retainer would be needed to hold these teeth in place.
So I feel okay in that the doc said- okay, if I want the bonded set up an appointment (he said give it time first but I just KNOW) and that they could bond a retainer and then adjust my
Hawley to be bigger so it can fit around the bonding for the retainer if and when it breaks as a back up plan.
I am psyched to do that as I think it will be stronger and more comfy.
But does anyone know if he will have to rebrace some teeth to move my fronts back again?
Can you just brace 2 teeth with a wire and back bands to attach to?
2 days debraced, in a Hawley and my teeth have moved
