Braces as 13 year old on NHS - put the retainers in a tissue at lunch time....lost em
Braces as an 18 year old (still with NHS) - idiot ortho didnt finish the treatment and fobbed me off.
Invisalign as 27 year old via private treatment + teeth whitening + fixed retainers = perfect smile...for a while. Lingual, fixed retainers eventually turned into a nightmare. Reinvisaligning myself before going to Vivera retainers. Relieved to get rid of those horrendous fixed retainers....
