Hi,

I ordered my first retainer from the store: Wrap Around Retainer with Headgeartubes upper jaw with tongue crib.
The feeling of the tongue crib is incredible. Speaking is difficult. Everybody should try this  ;)

I need the Impression Kit and so the order take four weeks to complete, but all the wait was worth it. The contact to the shop is very nice and helpful.

I don't know how to include images yet ...

Looks like fun to wear.
Have you ever worn a retainer before?

Yes, I had three different retainer when I was a Kid in the early 80th:

First of all I had a normal "Active Plate" only for the upper jaw. With that device I had no problems.
Then I get an evil monoblock similar to "Stiff Activator" but no so big. I think this was to slide my lower jaw forward. I had a lot of problems with this device. I often lost it in the night.
My orthodontist switch to a "Bite Jumping Appliance (VDP)". But my retainer has two hard metal pins in the upper side which clicked into the retainer of the lower jaw. Not really clicked, but sort of. I was able to open my mouth, but when I want to close it, I had to push my lower jaw forward.
If I remember correctly, I wore an "Active Plate" only for the upper jaw again later.

I never had fixed braces.


 
THis Tongue crib looks amazing. I´d like to see it in combination with the Headgear. Do you have some pictures of it aswell?
 
That basicly what I want besides the color. (Pink is way more cute)  :)

How did you order this? The configuration (Retainer with tounge brib) isnt available in the shop
 
I had some nice Email conversations with the shop keeper and it was no problem to add the tongue crib and it wasn’t expensive  :)
 
That looks great! I have a standard hawley upper and lower. The tongue crib would be a great addition especially if it affects speech.
