Re: Moving teeth with Hawleys
Some people had asked about tooth movements with Hawleys so I figured I'd share my experience today. I had braces for 2 years, about 15 years ago, and over time the gap between my two top front teeth got a little bigger and the bottom front teeth started to corkscrew a little. Not a lot of movement...

Re: Lisp.
I just got my retainers fitted today. They're all right; don't hurt or anything. This lisp, however, is really annoying me! I'm going to practice reading out loud, and from reading on here I know it will go away in a few days...in the mean time, I feel like crying. Who else felt/feels this way? haw...

As long as your ortho is comfortable that they fit correctly, I'd not worry. You didn't mention which type you were getting - sounds like the Hawley (acrylic plate with wire in front of teeth)?

Re: Got my braces off, need to wait a week for retainers
Is my dentist a moron or what??? Good grief! What a rude comment! It's not uncommon for there to be a week between being debanded and getting retainers, since many orthos do prefer to take the impressions without the brackets in place, and many orthos rely on outside labs to fabricate the retainers...

Update: I rang the dentist and I am postponing my de-bracing (am I crazy?!!) but only for 3 days so that I will only have to wait a week for the retainer instead of ten days......I'll try and post some pics when done but I'm not great at taking shots of the inside of my own mouth!!! xxx I have to w...
