Q. Hi,I am 45 years old and had fixed braces to close a large gap in my two front teeth which was removed in March last year. I was overjoyed at the result and had a wire fixed to the back of my teeth to prevent them from moving back, my problem now is that the wire keeps coming off and to date have already swallowed two !The third is now falling off and I cant cope with this for the rest of my life ! I have a retainer to wear at night so if I continue with this alone will my teeth stay in position ? Please help me as my poor husband is now driven to distracton with all this and its already cost him a small fortune to get me a smile I am finally proud of ! Thanks,
