I now have a platinum-gold chain retainer bonded on top, and basically a plastic one on the bottom, also bonded lingual.
what types of retainers do you all have for bonded?
I am considering switching my bottom one to the gold also. I have sensativity to both plastic and metal in my mouth but the gold is a lot smaller and I think uses less glue and plastic.
My top one feels okay but I am not sure about the bottom.
what types of bottom retainers to you all like?
What material is your bonded lingual retainer?
