is there any permanent retainer that can be put behind the two front teeth to keep them together
Q. I had braces the first time when i was in 8th because I had a gap due to a baby tooth that never grew in. I wore a metal retainer for awhile which had a temporary tooth to fill the empty gap that was now where my baby tooth should of been. Once I had the maryland bride put on my teeth were fine for a few years til about 12th grade then they the gap that was in front started to seperate again and the bridge of course started to get loose. Finally I got braces for the second time when i was older(the same orthodontist too) that work out good. I had a invisalign after that which kept them straight but the minute I took it out they moved. Anyway the dentist said I had a piece of tissue or something thats in the gums that no matter how much they move the teeth they will go back. Now that you read my story I want to know is there a permanent retainer that can be put behind the two front teeth to keep them together.
A. You can have a fixed orthodontic retainer placed at the back of the teeth. This is usually a bonded wire to keep them in place- or have a removeable retainer that you wear at night. I need to stress the importnace of retainers. If the teeth move back again, it would have all been for nothing.
With afixed orthodontivc retainer though, you need to have even better oral hygiene. So- you need to be even more thorugh with your brushing and flossing as it will be more difficult to keep clean.

Please advise…I wore braces for five years. I had just a few visits leftt. Due to a series of life altering family tragidies I was unable to complete my ortho treatment and the metal on my retainer snapped off. My teeth have shifted but I still have hope that some of my Ortho work can be saved. I’m looking for the most inexpensive way to have my retainer either replaced or fixed.
