Any advice on minor movements using indentations on clear retainers?
Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2015 11:47 pm
I read a while back about using small dimples in retainers for minor tooth movements.
Well, after my ortho made 3 faulty retainers in a row, leaving me without a retainer for several weeks, my teeth are now not-straight again.
I went ahead and made some dimples, one facing in toward the tooth that needs moving and the other facing out. What's the practicality of this? I can see my tooth has already moved thanks to the dimples, but will it stay in this position? Any advice is appreciated. I'm stressed out.
