I have been advised that I have to receive a bonded retainer after my brace treatment is completed. I don’t want a bonded retainer at all! Why would I require one of these things? I know I have to have a retainer but I don’t want a permanent one stuck to my teeth! Wouldn’t it just get in the way? I don’t want to struggle with eating/talking for the rest of my life with this thing in my mouth! What should I say to my dentist? He is adamant that I have have the bonded retainer. Thanks
hello I have looked online at potential/common side effects of lingual braces and wondered if there was any truth in them. does a lingual brace (behind the the teeth?) actually affect your speech? and apparently it can give your tongue issues with room? if it does how would you over come this? also how does the lingual brace affect your food? will it be any different to a traditional brace? i had one of them (fixed brace on the front of my teeth) years ago but have since relapsed back to almost to where I was at the beginning of my treatment but I don’t want to have to have them again as they were absolute hell I looked silly and hated them, and am looking to alternative treatments. cheers
