Hello, I have had such a huge problem getting my retainers cleaned, I then started to brush them with cold water, then I found my old pamphlets from my orthodontist, it said you can use toothpaste, is that okay? I mean i have been doing that for a while and NOTHING bad has happened thus far and it's...

I was 19

Thanks I have a consult on August 23rd

Hey good news, she told me since I get so sick with them and having a job now, she told me I could wear my retainers at night instead of 24/7 and then when I told her about getting them out I said I might not be able to wear the retainers a few days to a week after the surgery she said it was fine b...

So I finally have the balls to get my tonsils out, as a kid and a teenager I was too afraid of either dying or having my singing voice change, I sing opera. So I got a new primary care Physician and went to her yesterday and told me that's probably why I'm throwing up with a Hawley retainer. So my q...

It does bother me and I am upset and I don't feel like I should have to wait until July 11th just to speak with her, I've been there many times she's usually not busy and the most part chillaxed haha, so no excuses haha.

Well, I have kidney disease so that's the reason I throw up every day, literally. But she told me not to because of the sodder on it can wear off after soaks and break the retainers. And I know for her patients with the Essix retainers she lets them use toothpaste and soak them. I'm seriously fed up...

Hey, so my whole life I've always said if I ever got braces I would wear my retainers 24/7 I've suddenly changed my mind, BIG TIME!!! Okay, so I was told my orthodontist does BOTH Hawley and Essix, well she did my braces probono. When the braces came off I was given Hawley's and even that first day ...

it feels awesome.

Thanks, sadly it actually happened two more times.

Congratts your teeth are looking amazing <3

Thanks, the solder is only for the clips to keep the retainers in.
