And FINALLY how long will i have to wear my retainer, will i ever be able to stop!? Thanks =] Www@Answer-Health@Com

no, it doesn't hurt!.
i just get annoyed because they have to sand your teeth with this little tool and it's really loud and high pitched and gets your mouth all dry :-S
your teeth might be yellow depending on how well you took care of them while you had braces!. mine have never been yellow where the brackets were (or yellow anywhere else!) most orthodontists give wire retainers because they last longer and the clear kind is plastic and needs to be replaced a lot!. i had to use a clear one for my bottom teeth as a temperary retainer but i didn't really like it because my orthodontist encouraged me to eat as much as i could with my retainer on and the plastic ones go all the way over the tops of your teeth and i constantly got holes in the plastic retainer on the tops of my molars!
usually you'll have to wear your retainer for about a month all day and night, then your orthodontist will let you only wear it at night!. don't stop wearing the retainer until your orthodontist says so though! i'm pretty sure you basically wear the retainers at night for as long as your orthodontist says so!. probably your whole life if you want to keep your straight teeth, but it's better than having braces on all the time!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh man! I hate it when that happens!. Well the clear retainers are way easier to make, so there must be some reason you need the correction of a wire retainer!. Most of the time you wear the retainer for 24/7 for a year, then wear it only at night!.
WEAR YOUR RETAINER!. In case that wasn't clear: WEAR YOUR RETAINER!!!! Many times the teeth want to drift back to where they were!. There is nothing sadder than seeing someone in their 20's whose teeth have gone back to the way they were!. Now they are on their own and Mom and Dad sure aren't gonna put braces on them again when the person couldn't be bothered to wear a simple retainer!.
I will be wearing my retainers at night for the rest of my life!. It is cheap insurance for keeping my teeth nice and straight!.

well, i just got my braces off about a month ago!. it doesn't hurt getting them off!. they take a "tweezer type " thing and grab the part glued to your teeth and snap them off!. i promise it doesn't hurt a bit!. then they take a wire brush and rub off the glue!. it doesn't hurt!. i promise!.
when i got my braces off 1 or 2 of my teeth looked a little yellow, but after a couple brushes, the marks went away!.
i don't know why yu need the wired retainer!. i have the clear!. my ortho said there was not really a difference!.
i need to wear my retainer every minute of the day except when im eating or brushing for a year!. after that its just a couple days a week!. if you don't, your teeth move out of place!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

um it doesn't hurt
u might think it does but that's just cuz ur thinking bout it
they kind of just "twist" it off
u just hear really loud noises, and no ur teeth aren't yellow
but they might have some of that glue stuff on it!.!.!.!.
u should get the wired one if u want ur retainers off sooner
they work better
usually u wear it for 5 months, but if ur unlucky like me it might be 1-2 years
good luck! i kinda miss my braces, they gave me an excuse not to read or participate in class discussions :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
