I am thinking of going elsewhere and paying more to have fixed retainers put in, but I am wondering what are the chances that I will have the same problem?? Could I pay hundreds for a fixed retainer, but have the glue look terrible after a few months, and then bite into a certain food and have them come loose, thus requiring hundreds more?
When I seen a dentist he did criticise my orthodontist's work and said that there was far too much glue and that if they had been put on properly they would probably last for years. But I doubt any orthodontist is going to give a guarantee of this.
I am hoping that there is some explanation as to why the fixed retainers I have had in the past have come loose so easily, otherwise I will be getting them replaced every few months forever. It's driving me mad.
