Is is possible to have my retainer off for my wedding?

Dear Dr Safeer
I have a wedding to attend in May and was wondering wether you think it is ok to have the front 6 brackets taken off for three days during the wedding. I am 8 months into my treatment and had four premolars removed in November. I am currently in the process of having the gaps closed so have powerchains on.
I read somewhere that it was not a good idea to have the brackets removed during this period as it takes several months for the bracket to develop a strong bond to the tooth to hold the powerchain.
Would having this done prolong my treatment time and by how long?
Thank you

Hi
The problem isn’t the removal and bonding. It’s the high possibility of relapse and loss of treatment gains from the time you have had them on.
In theory you could have a bonded retainer to help minimise this but you will get some relapse, how much is variable and the idea is I’ll advised.
You’re nearly there keep going,,,,,!,,,,,
