Pictures of my Strange Retainer! (Damon Night Splint)

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.

My retainer is a different style, but it is made to hold my lower jaw in a forward position when I sleep and it keeps me from bruxing.

The dentist customized a version of an Essix retainer for me at night. I also have 'traditional' Essix style retainers as well.
