For the top teeth only.
And how much movement have you noticed?
Thank you
Which retainer do you have - Essix or Hawley?

Do you normally get a choice? I should be getting one by June so I guess I should pay attention to this.

Thats interesting Nikki. I have a 2-3 very small gaps left. We had thought they would close in the past 2 weeks and the braces could come off next week but I dont see that happening. What type of minor adjustment was done by your retainer?
