Re: Brace FREE!!!!! 3 Months Earlier
So i just had my 1st appointment since getting retainers.... The ortho shaved down and level off my front teeth... And he made an adjustment in the retainer wire(upper) that is now putting pressure on my teeth so i guess he's shifting it a bit... Other than that the both retainers feel tighter so i...

Re: Making my own decision to take off braces.

Re: Is it normal for retainers to scrap your gums slightly?
I have hawley retainers top and bottom. Putting them on and off can hurt a big but once they click into place its fine if it wasn't for the lisp when speaking I wouldn't notice I had them in. And yes taking out my lower ones always hit against my back right molars so I have a spot that is always sore.

Re: feeling frustrated
I see a great deal of changes looking at ur wires. Plus as someone said. You're only 5months in. Plus some changes u feel more than u see. Like ur bite gets better and teeth that never touch before started to touch.

Re: feeling frustrated
Do u hav an earlier picture?
Sometimes looking at the wire itself shows movement as apposed to looking directly at the teeth for changes.
The wire may look straighter over time.
