Lingual bonded wire? (Pros/Cons)?!
Question: Lingual bonded wire? (Pros/Cons)?
I got my braces off in October of 2009, and wear clear retainers every night. I am contemplating a more permanent option along with new retainers. I would like a lingual bonded wire put on the back of my teeth (top and bottom). I am just wondering if this is the best option for me. I know the prices I just would like some feedback like pro's and con's. Thanks so much for your help!
Answers:
Well..
Pros-
You dont need to wear them on your own.. no patient compliance issue
They wont be visible
Cons-
Difficulty cleaning
Some minor corrections are done using the removable retainers. That wont be possible in your case.
