I haven't worn my retainer in almost a year. I can still get it i- read deta!


Question: I haven't worn my retainer in almost a year!. I can still get it i- read details!!?
I haven't worn my retainer because it's an Essix, a piece of plastic formed to your mouth and it hurts!. It digs in (I went back because I told them it hurts) it makes my gums bleed every time I wear it because it puts so much pressure on my gums! It's been about 9 months since I've worn it!. Do you think I can still get away with having another retainer made and just have them adjust it until my teeth go back!? They're still straight, but I can tell they're coming forward!. I know it was stupid not to wear my retainer, but I didn't have the money to have it replace and my ortho was being ignorant!. Any suggestions!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I can't believe they wouldn't adjust your retainer so it didn't dig into your gums!. Did they adjust it at all, ever!?!?
You could consult another orthodontist or ask your general dentist to make you a night guard!. They make them to snap onto your teeth so it will at least hold the position they are in now!. But, if you want them to move back, then that will require constant pressure again!. You could maybe get Invisalign for a short period instead of full braces again!. It just depends on how much money you are willing to put back into it I guess!.
Your first step really should be to go back to your orthodontist and explain the problem!. He may be willing to work with you on this, but like you said before, he wasn't very helpful!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
