You mean the girl on the left? I don't no why it should be not just a regular removable retainer. Why do you think it would be fixed? Only due to her wearing it all the time? I think she's a disciplined girl. That's all. Why do you think the appliance would actually straighten her teeth??

Du meinst das Mädchen rechts im Bild? Warum sollte das kein ganz normaler, herausnehmbarer Retainer sein? Warum glaubst Du, dass das Gerät festsitzend ist? Nur, weil sie es ständig trägt? Sie wird halt einfach ordentlich sein und das Gerät dort hintun, wo es hingehört. Das ist das ganze Geheimnis. Warum glaubst Du, das Gerät würde ihre Zähne bewegen, während sie es trägt??

look at the earlier pics...her teeth are messier. Look at the newest pic without that thing...her teeth are straight. plus that appliance seems to have extra wires around the  front teeth

It might be a removable brace looking like a retainer but straightening her teeth. Because these kinds of appliances (that were more common in former times) look just like retainers, these appliances often are called "retainers", too (especially stateside, I think).

Could you please post older and younger pics to compare? Are these pics already postet here?:

I think it's just a retainer with fake teeth, she got implants on the last pic so she won't wear it anymore :-[
