Hi guys, I've had my fixed and night time retainer for almost 3 months now and I'm due to go back for a check up. I have moved house since my treatment finished and now would have to fly to go and see my dentist. Has anyone changed dentist during or shortly after treatment? How as it went for you? I...

Got my bonded retainer fitter last Friday, such a difference having no aligner to wear or no blobs on my teeth. Anyone got any suggestions on a good water or air flosser to use now as I can't usual normal floss. I have already tried the super floss but just wrecks my head trying to poke through the ...

Hi guys, been awhile since I've been on here but I see you getting on well.
I'm getting my permanent retainer fitted Friday being the quickest 12 weeks ever and a month quicker than expected. Really looking forward to that.
Pics to follow later.

Hi Oharecr, I wouldn't think you need to take time off work, apart from extra saliva and getting used to it while speaking there should be no issues. I've had mine two weeks now and two rounds of IPR and at this stage I almost forget its in my mouth. I can already see some movement. You will be fine...

It fitted perfectly and got I some IPR done which was fine. It is a little uncomfortable but nothing to bad, teeth are a bit tender alre...

Getting my aligner fitted on Friday coming.

What are peoples thoughts on best pain relieve to use, if needed for first few days and gels or something to use to help prevent rubbing and sores?

Cheers.

Thanks for the replies guys just a few more quick questions. tcmn, definitely sounds like we had/have same problems. How long did u have to wear you top aligner with expander for? Would be great if you could let us know what retainer will do for bottom teeth. Oharecr, whats the difference between th...

Hi all, I'm a newbie here but I have being reading the forum the last few days. Basically I had braces in school, 4 teeth out and didn't wear retainer so I'm now back to square one. I have a 10mm overjet, front teeth angled out - used to be thumb sucker, which doesn't bother me as its only like that...
