Clear retainers
« on: 06. February 2014, 19:10:40 PM »
Just a post to say how much I HATE clear retainers. Orthodontists have become too lazy to make "real" hawley retainers and have their patients pay the same price for retainers that are easy to make !!!
What do you think ?

Yes, Mabatt, you are right. Where is the lisp and cute wire on the front teeth, plastic on roof, cute half-silver smile. I hate invisalign as well - similar reasons.

Invisalign is the worst thing to happen in the world of orthodontics :(
At least only limited cases can be treated with it, metal all the way!

I quite agree. Although I would be interested to try clear ones just once they could come nowhere near my Hawleys.
To me, the whole attraction is the plastic in my mouth and the look of the wire at the front.
