ACK!! Please someone help! Question on braces...?!


Question: ACK!! Please someone help! Question on braces!.!.!.!?
I had braces on from grade 6-9!. My teeth were straight but then, I wore my retainer for 5 years!. By that time, I had ENOUGH!. I stopped wearing it so my teeth moved!.

I was annoyed by one tooth so I decided to get braces put back on by the same ortho!.

He said 9 months and only top braces!. I chose clear!.

After 4 months he said this wasn't working and I'd need bottom ones, so I was sad but I agreed!. HE DIDN'T TELL ME AND HE WENT AHEAD AND HE PUT METAL ONES ON!. I was SHOCKED!. I look ridiculous!. What choice did I have!?!?

The argument was clear braces on the bottom will break off because my upper teeth will chip away at them!.

It's been 9 months now and not only are my teeth not fixed but I look ridiculous with two types of braces!.

Is this even true!?!?!? That my upper teeth would chip away at clear braces!?!?!? Should I demand he takes these metal ones and replace them with clear!?!?!? HELP!!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Well, unfortunately retainers are for life, atleast while sleeping!.!.!. You see teeth are always moving and when you get braces they are rushed into a position, and then the retainers are designed to keep you there!.

it is extremely common to put clear braces on top and metal on bottom, this is because most people dont show their bottom teeth when smiliing or talking!.

I would personally keep the metal ones on as they are more durable and may shorten your treatment time!.
