THis Tongue crib looks amazing. I´d like to see it in combination with the Headgear. Do you have some pictures of it aswell?
 
They are ok. Didn’t really expect them to be so big. Been hard getting used to them Over the weekend. Talking is weird. Only had them since Thursday. Glad there are similar people to talk to about it. I had sagitall removable brace when I was younger but this time just braces so not had anything like these retainers since I was 8!! Did you have anything at an older age?
 
What did you go for? Hawley retainers are better in my opinion. They last longe ,and are  harder to break or lose. It’s just the talking with them and how they feel and look that takes a bit of getting used to.

Got my braces put on 3 weeks ago at 58. I had braces 20 years ago and have no worries about what people think. I have full metal upper and lower. Most people don't even comment but you do notice they are looking at them. Just wish I  didn't have to wear a mask so everyone could see them.

Would you mind taking a picture for us? :D
 
I have removable retainers which have a metal wire accross the teeth which is visible and also speaking is hard because of the plastic. I take them out for meetings but otherwise wear them pretty much full time. You get used to them and remember your doing it for you and it’s not forever so stick at it. I did have fixed braces which I found ok. Retainers are way worse!

Just got top and bottom hawley retainers. Thought my teeth were shifting and my fixed retainer broke years ago and was a pain. Thought the clear retainers would need to be replaced too often or I would lose them so I tried the hawley retainers. Didn’t contemplate the lispyness! Pretty embarrassing talking to people. Got them on Thursday so been pretty weird weekend trying to get used to them. Not sure I made the right decision but too late now. Have to wear them full time for 6 months then just at night. Anyone else had Hawley retainers in their 30s or older?
 
If he acts professionally he will not do it unless the treatment plan calls for it. He would be considered liable for any error, fault or injury resulting from your recreational usage.

I have metal braces upper and lower. Wanted my Ortho to put on molar brackets with Buccal tubes so I could wear headgear on special occasions. He kept asking Why I would want that, any ideas how to get him to put them on? I could not think of any reason. Can't really tell him the real reason,

the two protrusions in combination with the lower dental appliance actually work.
They serve to move the lower jaw to the front.
This device is used when the patient has problems with malocclusion.
I have used braces for 11 years in the past. I don't need it anymore obviously.

I wanted to try this type of orthodontic appliance to understand what feeling you get when wearing it.
I requested some changes to make it even more torture to carry in the mouth.

The upper orthodontic appliance is very thick and covers the entire palate.
The upper orthodontic appliance has tubes where I insert the mustache with the headgear.
The upper orthodontic appliance also has a bite on the incisors.
The lower braces is very thick.
The lower orthodontic appliance also has the bite that mates with the upper orthodontic appliance

The changes I made make it even more difficult to speak and cause a lot of saliva in the mouth.

The device can be worn for a few hours, then it becomes torture.
