thank you so much for this video :) it answered so many questions i had! i am getting my braces off next month and my dentist said i will be getting this type of retainer!
just wondering, does this retainer irritate or scratch your gums? thanks!
I have to wear the Essix retainer for the first month, and I just got them today and HATE THEM. Mine has the roof of my mouth too, not just the teeth like yours and that reallllly bugs me. After this first month I can choose between these and the Hawley (wire) retainers, but I want to see if I can just get the clear, teeth only ones like yours. Thanks for the cleaning tips!
i am gettin mine in 3 days ;( some of mi friends havin retainers mumble when they talk, does everyone who has retainers mumble when they talk? or is it just some do and some dont? i am so worried :(
i got mine off today the oinly part that hurt was when they take off the glue and i have my retainers on and it hurts is this normal? does it mean by teeth are getting used to it or what?
@heri121 yeah your teeth are getting used to it and your gums are probably sore from the braces being token off soo its normal but if you think that its not just ask ur orthodontic
@xsuzannexfarrahx nope. they just like clip them off. you just feel pressure on your teeth and its really loud so i suggest you bring an IPod or MP3 player to listen to if your allowed to. good luck :)
Are the retainers supposed to get looser over time because I've had mine for about....3 and a half weeks and it's gotten looser. It doesn't fall out but it's definitely not tight.
i lovedd your video! my orthodonist said i should wear my retainer for a year all day and all night but like for 5 or 6 days this month i only wore it at night cuz i was on vacation and we took lots of pictures and ate everywear and i didn't wanna take it out a lot so will that do any harm to my teeth?
@JulieLemenaite. As long as your bite and your teeth feel in place you should be fine. just start wearing them again so your teeth dont move. and if you ever have to do that again, fit your retainer in every few hours or so. i know how you feel haha.
@JulieLemenaite easy to find out, if you try your retainer in and its tight that mean your teeth have moved, you need to wear your retainer to make them move back. You need to wear retainer for 24/7 for at least the first year, then break to nights only after that or every other night at least; lifelone retainers are the only way to ensure your teeth wont move.
My retainer got stuck so I pulled down on the back right af it and that bit came out and then pulled some more and it was fine and came out pull up if it's the bottom ones
I have the same retainers you have, and the clear one on my top teeth is stuck. I tried what you said, but it just got a bit looser. So what do you think i should do?
@Acenickey when you get your braces off, your gums are not used to the "straightness" of your teeth haha. so when you put it on, your teeth dont have anywhere to move so they stay straight then once your gums get used to it they stay straight :) if that makes sense :)
hey, thanks so much for uploading this, it's really helpful. I got my retainers today, but its kinda weird cause i've never had braces. but thankss (;
@teekhaayvibeee I was the same way I have retainers but did not have braces so it was weird for me too. I just have to wear my retainers at night so it was really interesting the first few nights.
does it hurt

juicy082695 1 year ago
your lucky you got the clear ones ;-; it looks easier to wear
i got the metal retainers on saterday! i didnt know
they had clear ones intill i started looking it up. :/
i think the clear one is better cuz, when i wear the metal retainer
it feels like you have gum stuck on top of your mouth and the
the bottom. and its really hard to pronounce words with it
