Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone had a one-piece retainer after their braces were removed? I had surgery for an open bite and was supposed to have my braces removed last month, but my bite started opening up again, so my ortho put my back on rubberbands. My bite is now closed, but seems unstable. Once the braces are removed, I'm worried that it will open up again because it seems like my muscles still remember the old position. My ortho mentioned I would be getting two separate top and bottom retainers once I was done with everything, but I was thinking how great a one-piece retainer would be because it would hold my bite and my teeth in place simultaneously - anyone ever have this or hear of it? Thanks again! Meredith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
