Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hi everyone I just got my retainer today, and it's HORRIBLE. It's a wire retainer with a U-shape of plastic over the pallet, and same thing on the bottom. It reminds me of the splint, and i can't talk or swallow with it!! I have to wear it 24/7 for 3 months straight. I just spent 4 months and a ton of money working with an orofacial myologist to get rid of my tongue thrust, but now I can't swallow properly. I'm so worried about a relapse of my tongue thrust and of my open bite. Has anyone else had this kind of retainer??? Did they you get used to it?? This thing honestly just reminds me of the splint, and I could never talk or swallow with that... I'm so worried about this undoing everything. Thanks for any help - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
