Thanks for your reply! Inasmuch as I am saddened to hear of your plight with your retainers as well, it is good to know that I am not the only one having difficulties. I have been having horrible headaches from my bite being off that I am seriously considering going to an ortho for a second opinion and hopefully I will get suggestions on other retention appliances that are available
Hi Momma, I left you a reply message but I think it only shows on my profile page!
Hi Kazza, how are you doing with your retainers? I am on my second set of retainers, after doing refinements to correct the movements that my original retainers messed up, but unfortunately I have had movement with my second set as well. I was wondering, how long did it take you wearing your retainers that they no longer had that "new tray" feeling. My retainers are moving one of my top front teeth inward and when I take the trays out my bite is bad, the tooth hits the bottom one underneath. After the pressure of eating and having the trays out for an hour or two the tooth moves out and my bite is good but when I put my retainers back in, i have that "new tray" pressure in that one tooth, pushing it back again. I would think after 4 weeks that I should be able to snap them on and off easily.I am still keeping the retainers in at least 20 hours a day too! any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated as I want to have as much knowlege as i can for when i go to my provider.
