I was surprised (scared at first!) that it had come all the way down in a couple of days! Yesterday (3 weeks later), she took off the braces and made impressions for my final plastic retainers.
Today when I picked them up, another ortho was there and said my tooth may sink back in if the braces were removed too soon so I'll have to be really vigilant... oh s%&t! My teeth around that tooth are still very tender and the retainer hurts (she said it should be tight)... Should I be worried? Was it too early? How long should I have waited? Should I maybe go for a permanent (wire?) retainer instead to be sure they don't move or something?? I am so tired of messing around with my teeth. I feel like a guineapig with all these trial-and-errors and I fear for their health! Help, please?
