If you have finished with your orthodontic treatment and are wearing retainers (or will be soon), this is a special place to connect with others in your (enviable) situation. Ask a question or make a comment about life post-braces.

still like the bonded retainers, but now that big ole bulky nightsplint thing, well thats a different horse of another color, it works great ,but my upper front teeth get sore from it, i guess it's because it pulls my lower jaw foward to keep the tm joint open at night an it does , hope to be getting the hawleys soon , that way i can get us to wearing them
