Q.

Hey Raha, Got a bit of an issue going on! I had a brace about 6 or 7 years ago, and when i got it off the dentist asked me if i wanted a removal retainer or a wire glued to the back of my bottom teeth to stop them from moving. The thing is they have started moving so this wire is now useless! What are my options, because obviously a wire is not working anymore so will i have get something else like a retainer to stop them from moving? if so how much does something like that cost? I should have got this information sooner but its just been so hectic i didnt get round to it and also i hate going to the dentist unless absolutly necessary! But now i think it is!! Some advice would be great! Thanks!

Can essix retainers cause infections and if so, how can I stop this?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

From your experience can a essix retainer cause infections in your mouth? I’ve been wearing them for 10years now and this is the first time it’s happened. I got a replacement as my old retainer was getting rather old, then when I started wearing the new one even after 10minutes I began to get white rings at my gum line and spots on my gums. The orthodontist made me a new one but it happened again and is now refusing to make me another, but my dentist is telling me to stop wearing it as it’s damaging my gums, how can I stop this from happening?

Can I have a fixed retainer instead of a removable one?

November 9th, 2011
Q.

Dr, I have finished my brace treatment am on my second type of retainer. I used to have the removable ones but I hated them, they were like braces for life only I had to manage them, when I had my bracesfitted I was un aware of the retainer business afterwards andeven when told I wasnt bothered but the actual application of them used to wind me up. anyway I consulter my dentist about this and he said I could have a wire on the back of my teeth, why did they even bother taking my braces off? could you tell me about this wire thing im not sure I would like a mini brace stuck to the inside of my teeth, is it there then for the rest of my life also or would i be able to take it out after a particular duration? I know this sounds as though I’m an unhappy man but that’s not the case, I am really happy with the results of my brace, the dentist had it all to do when sorting my teeth out and managed it its just that I didn’t like the whole retainer issue afterwards, cheers
