Hi my retainer tastes strange, what should I do?

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I hope you can give me a solution. I had Invisalign for nearly two years, and now have a retainer bonded onto the back of my teeth. Since I have had this retainer bonded on, I have had a strange bitter taste coming from it when I touch it with my tongue or when I swoosh saliva around it. I had the original plastic one removed and a metal one bonded on to see if this helped, but i still have this horrible bitter taste.

I assume it is the bonding used. Please help me, as I have lost faith in my current orthodontist.

My teeth have moved after having a brace, will I need more treatment?

Friday, March 4th, 2011
Q.

Hi,
Im 21 years old. I had braces for year and half when i was 16 years old.
after braces removal i didnt wear the retainers regularly for a year, then i realized that the lower lateral started to regain its position so i wore these retainers at night for another year..
now i dont use anything and i was wondering if it will keep moving to re-establish its old position? or it will stop at this position? even though it contacts the lingual aspect of upper central and this contact bother me..
also i was wondering if i could remake a new retainer just to keep my teeth at this position regardless this lower lateral?, as i dont want to start a new orthodontic treatment..
thanks

What can done to fix my relapsed teeth?

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Q.

Dear all,
I am a 35 year old woman and I just took off 6months braces to close up a huge gap between my 2 front teeth (incisors), which i wore for a year. I took them off on the 13th of July 2010 and i am not happy with the result. At present i have 3 issues – One – I didnt get the retainer on the day i took out the braces till 4days after and the gap started opening up, Two- my overbite size is increasing as i do not have proper retainers. three my mid line has shifted and 4 my lower jaw is shifting to the right on its own i am making a consious effort to hold it together. its been a month since i took off the braces and i am yet to have a permanent retainer. i have complained to him and his story keeps changing. i need to confirm if this is normal process. so i can address this issues i have with him properly. i basically didnt get the treatment i was expecting.

Also he didnt do an xray before we started the treatment is that normal

thanking you in Advance.

I have damaged my retainers, can I get them replaced?

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011
Q.

Dr Butt. I have damaged my bonded and plastic retainers ovewr time from ortho treatment but the orthodontic practice where I had the treatment are refusing to help fix them based on the grounds that I am discharged from their care. Will any other orthodontic practice be able to help although I wasn’t treated there? I’m freaking out as I don’t want my teeth moving and the orthodontist who straightened my teeth years back is now retiring. Thanks
