I am wearing an Essix on top. It is actually not too bad. So far I find it comfortable. On Wed. I get my bottom Hawley retainer. So far if all goes well I have to wear the top 24/7 for a month. After that I could go to night time only. The bottom I will have to wear all the time until I get a bridge done. I don't have plans for a bridge until at least a year from now. Once I get a bridge than I will have a bonded retainer.
All in all it has really been worth it.
