    Removable as good as bonded retainers?

    I have bonded retainers on my upper and lower teeth. I don't like the upper retainer at all. I can feel it against my tongue all the time.
    Even after 3 years it still bothers me. I'm thinking about getting it removed and getting a removable Essix retainer for my upper teeth instead.

    Is a removable (Essix) retainer as good as a bonded one? I mean the bonded retainer works 24/7 while the removable only works 8 hours each night.
