half size Essix retainer

#1 Post by platinum »

I got my retainers today. A normal hawley for the bottom and a half size Essix to the top. By half size i mean that the plastic only covers half the tooth, not up to the gums. I asked about that and they said half size is ebough and it is not good if the plastic covers gums.

Anyone else?
