So happy that you are in retainers! Unfortunately my lower teeth still aren't completely finished but my orthodontist has come up with a fabulous idea to get them done without having to wear my aligners 24/7. He's investigating and if it works I'll find out at my next appointment at which time I'll post about it. I have a feeling I'll be something of a guinea pig again, but I really don't mind. Are you pleased with your teeth having finished treatment? How are you finding the Vivera retainers? Thanks so much for reading. Hi there!

Are you pleased with your teeth having finished treatment? How are you finding the Vivera retainers?

Thanks so much for reading.

Are you then wearing retainers for both upper and lower? Your lower "wonky" tooth is now in place? I have been wearing Vivera retainers for 3 months today and change to set 2 for day/night for another 3 months, and then nights only. How tight do they feel when you insert them at night? Like new aligners? Or just slightly snug or as if they've been out for only an hour? Thanks Hearty Congratulations–What a long journey!

I have to only wear my retainers at night anyway- I hope that turns out to be enough! How does the metal feel in your mouth. Other than the extra flossing, do you find it uncomfortable or difficult to eat? Thanks for reading! Hi Anita,

This set of retainers was shaped on top of the wires. I did this option so I wouldn't have to wear retainers in the daytime for the first year. After a yr I can choose to remove the wire, they redo my retainer without the wire shape then just wear at night! D I currently have extra flosswork in the evening, but I prefer that over wearing this larger retainer in the daytime. :-) I got the wires behind my 3 front teeth on top and 5 front teeth on bottom and then I don’t need to wear retainers in the daytime and just wear my retainers at night.

However, if you are younger there might be more flexibility about how often and for how long you have to wear them so please ask your orthodontist. Thanks and good luck! Hi there,

Unfortunately the root was trapped between the two next to it and so it couldn't be removed without surgey that might also make me lose the two teeth next to it. It was pretty horrific as it was. The dentist (not my dentist now) spent an hour trying to get it out, which was awful. So, I really had no choice. Hi there,

I currently have 9 attachments, only two are really visible but it doesn't bother me. Although I have a quick question, as I am now addicted to brushing my teeth and use whitening products. My teeth are whiter, no doubt about it but what happens when they take my attachments off will I have a mark from attachments (the visble discolouration my teeth was before? ) Thanks I am currently on 9/25.
