Hi fixed retainer

If you have finished with your orthodontic treatment and are wearing retainers (or will be soon), this is a special place to connect with others in your (enviable) situation. Ask a question or make a comment about life post-braces.

Hi fixed retainer

#1 Post by Clairebear1993 »

Hi everyone

I have been braces free for nearly 6 months now and have been cleared by the orthodontist to come back in a year... But I am paranoid that something is going to come apart... And go wrong... I am very careful to brush and floss and get cleans regularly... But getting into the orthodontist in a rush can be hard... Has anyone else had problems or is there a chance I could get my dentist to make me a plastic retainer just in case (I have a lot of spacing still on the bottom for an eventual implant of bridge)
