Do you have a choice between a permanent or removeable retainer?

Do you have a choice between a permanent or removeable retainer?


Because my teeth are straight and where they should be. I was also told that I had braces on for so long that my teeth will hardly, if ever move. I was also told to keep them on while I eat.....





And also, what is it about permanent retainers? Do some people need them more than others? Can I ask for one?





Are removeable ones only for people who don't need permanent retainers? I have a removeable one and they estimate I'll have them for 2 years and after a while of wearing them constantly now, I'd only have to wear them at night. I have to get my top retainer, and my orthodontist is making me one that fits my top teeth, and she's saying my teeth are so in position they will not move after 2 weeks! Does that mean my retainer will only have to be at night soon?

I think that you do have a choice but the orthodontist will give you a recomendation. It depends on your teeth and the way the move and shift. But you can question your orthodontists and they will be glad to tell you
Reply:This is something to ask your orthodontist. Some cases can use them and others can not, so we really can't give an intelligent answer over the internet.

Reply:it definately depends on the orthodontist and the severity of your case. Some people opt for the permanent because they fear they'll lose the reatainer, however flossing is a bigger chore and your'll have to get special floss to thread between to get below the retainer and to the gumline. like every one else said, your orthodontist would be the number one way to find out. GOOD LUCK!
