Retainer question...?!


Question: Retainer question...?
I have to wear a retainer for six months and then get a permanent bottom and night retainer for a lifetime. Is this actually for a lifetime or are they exaggerating? Does it hurt? Will you get used to it?

Answers:

you get used to it. it is for life.



i wore a retainer for 6 months day and night. and then my dentist said that i have to continue wearing both top and bottom "until i get married" and/or permanently during the night.
i think that your dentist probably means the same, although i would ask him/her just to make sure. retainers are really easy to get used to and they only hurt if you dont wear them in a while and THEN decided to start again (this is because without the retainer your teeth will start to shift again) and a retainer is MUCH better and comfortable than braces ^_^



Yes it IS for a lifetime... So ... You die in it!!!...... :O my friend has one and she said it doesn't hurt at all. Night retainer might hurt if you stop wearing it for a few days. It only won't hurt for the permanent one because you'll wear it all the time.
