I started wearing it a week ago after 2 years of brace but my teeth is a bit complicated so I have bridge on the upper two of my teeth are zerconia after I completed the brace. So on the upper I have permanent retainer (for the front three teeth excluding the bridge) and the lower is plastic (removable) retainer that is how my Dentist done and I am grateful for the look and health But Forever is sad 😮

Hi Dr. How do you deal with patients who have hyperplasia (even slightly), and making clear retainers on the same day? I'd there a healing period you give them before taking Impression?

Due to bruxism, my orthodontist switched out my clear retainer to a hawley retainer on the top, clear retainer on bottom. I wear every night and the longest ive gone without is 2 days straight. Today i just put in my clear retainer on top and woah my teeth are so sore. Fortunately the retainer fits, it just feels tight. Ill rotate and use the clear a few times per month going forward

I had anxiety the first day I had permanent retainers. I couldn't breath because of it. I am asking my ortho to remove the permanent ones and give me the temporary one as Ill be totally responsible for it and ill commit to it. I don't want metal to hang around with me all the time and even after ai die 💀 I hate it as simple as that 😭

I’ve had a permanent retainer behind my lower teeth for more then 15 years and I had to get some work done so they removed the wire and gave me one of those plastic retainers. I’ve never had any work done on my teeth so my teeth are very sore still it’s been 3 days post treatment , because I’ve had my other retainer for so long can I wait for a few days until my teeth aren’t sore anymore from the work done till I wear it again? I tried but there’s to much pulsation in my teeth. After your explanation I do fall into the category of the people who can wear it some days a week ? I just don’t want my teeth to shift but I can’t bare additional pain of the retainer now

I'm from bd and here my orthodontist he's a professor also he said that I'll have to use fixed twisted retainers for 3- years then i can wear them off . I told him about clear removal retainer he acted like it doesn't exist! And yes he also extracted my four premolars saying it's the only way ( I have two cruded teeth and a little overbite)

Hi Dr. Can you make a video comparison of Damon braces and tradition braces, pain, cost, and length. I got my damon braces on top teeth, traditional braces on lower teeth.

I got my braces off two weeks ago. I am wearing retainers since then but the problem is that I can neither speak properly nor pronounce words correctly. What should I do?

@RyeClarke 10 ай бұрын

I was the same, for the first week I could barely pronounce anything, but it got better the more you get used to it.

I had my permenant retainer removed after 12 years am I done with retainers?

@garaadsan.6191 2 ай бұрын

No, he said you will wear them for a lifetime but with reduced frequency like 2 times a night per week if it's the clear retainer so get the clear retainer.

what if ur orthodontist tells u to wear them every night for 12 hrs at least when you get ur braces off like i did 😅

Dr Nathan, I have braces since 3years. I have an overbite and my dentist says it's not. I want to remove it, but my lower part aren't still aligned. I can have my upper teeth with retainers in the meantime? Or I have to remove both then use retainer. Ty

Hi great video thank you so much! i got braces about a month ago on upper teeth and going to get them on lower teeth in a few days, it did hurt first week. After that it stopped pushing my teeth like i could feel there is no pain, then after a few days i had a change of wire, i felt it for a day only and then i could feel that it haa stopped pushing. Is that normal? Like people with braces says that tightening hurts them for a week and wire is active for 2 weeks, why isn't that in my case. Also, if you grind teeth while having braces, is it going to undo the shifting/work that braces have done?
