hi guys, i had already took off my braces 2 yrs ago, but now my two front teeth is like 'coming out' abit(sry i duno wat to say in english). now the dentist try adjust it bak 4 me by letting me wear a container tat jz has a steel in front of it(again i duno wat it called lol, sry) n it can be take off by my self. it is extremely hard 4 me to talk n had a lot of saliva in it, the dentist asked me to wear it at least 16 hr per day to get used to it n he wil only start adjust it 4 me nxt mth. any1 have the same experience like me? m thinking of giving it up, haiz..

hi, thx 4 reply. haha i guess it is called retainer. after de-brace 2 yrs ago i rajin rajin wear the retainer for 1 yr but den stop alre. end up now the teeth moving a bit n nid to adjust again according to the dentist, i nid to wear it all day for at least 3 mth when adjusting period n after tat only i can jz wear it at nite...

life time? woot? no wonder my teeth stil move even though i already wear it for 1 yr...

vy true. i jz wore it at nite tat time bcos it is extremely hard 4 me to talk and mouth look like 'bengkak' wit retainer on. whenever u wan to eat or brush teeth u nid to remove it, if i'm eating outside, i duno whr to keep the retainer n u might end up 4got to take the retainer when u leave lol. its vy annoying so i choose to wear it only at nite. too bad i jz wore it for ard 1 yr n now the teeth not so tidy n pretty liao i'm vy regret now, mayb the retainer realy nid to wear 4 life time.

gals may feel easier to bring the box bcos they can put it inside handbag, but for guys(at least 4 me), it wil b vy weird n mafan to bring the box along. sry i admit i'm a lazy guy, n yea, the retainer is almost invisible but when i close my mouth it wil look 'bengkak' haha, so i decide to jz wore it at nite.

@karynkhoo
the retainer wit a steel wire in front is old one, the new 1 is jz plain plastic n transparent.

erm.. at least 4 me la.
