Hey MichaelY,
Thanks for your words of encouragement. I have to say that I am more than a little apprehensive about going through this again. I have been told I have to wear the plate 24/7 to get a "flatter look" to my teeth (basically I have a significant overjet), but at the moment I am worrying about how my speech is going to be affected by the plate, and the reaction I may get from other people when I am wearing this appliance (wire across front etc). I have also been told that the same plate can probably act as a retainer after the active treatment. What advice did you get about retainers?
Hazel
