Here are my new reatiners. The top piece is bigger then the original. I believe the bottom was the same. I did not go for pleasure; I went because my grandmother was sick. There was a total of nine of us traveling. We had to pack light because we had a 2 hour drive from the airport once we got to Ma...

I lost my retainers in a trip to Martinique. American Airlines lost my suitcase and I was unable to recover it. They only gave me $500 dollars (one of mine bathing suite alone cost a $100 dollars and I had 2 different ones)! :roll: Anyway, I just bit the bullet and went to my ortho to order another ...

This bonded retainer, what does it look like, is it behind the teeth?

It's just a thin wire on the back of the 4 front teeth. I still wore Hawley's retainers 24/7 for 3 months and now I'm on night time wear with the Hawleys.

Yes the soreness is normal, it will last a couple of days. My teeth was tender for 4 days, especially when eating.

I start with a huge gap on the top front 2 teeth; so when my braces where removed, my ortho put a bonded retainer on the upper 4 front teeth. I still have to wear another retainer top and bottom.

Looking good!

They look fantastic! Definitely worth it the 2nd time around!

If you feel something wrong, don't leave until he fix it; because you won't stop thinking about it. Anyway, why was your retainer adjusted on your last appointment?

Your teeth looks great now, maybe you'll be debanded before August!!

They look nice, congratulations!!

I live in Snellville, GA and when I decided to get braces, I put my zip code on my insurance website search engine for close orthos, and it pulled 27 within a 15 mile radius (which was my search criteria). I'm sure there is more but it will only give me practices that are in network for Metlife insu...

The top looks great. You have come a long way!

Wow, your teeth looks Fantastic!

I don't understand why they would take braces off without having the retainers there; there is the ability to craft the retainer with the braces still on. I had the mold done for my retainers 2 weeks before I was debanded. The day I was debanded, my retainers was there, and she adjusted them after t...

Looking good. I love your Hawley's, they look like mine; especially the bottom pne since both of mine has that clear base on them. You'll learn to speak with them will quick.
