Q: hi all.

i'm getting my braces off in a month (and counting every day!). my ortho told me i should get wires placed on the back of my teeth to support and keep them straight for a while. is this normal and has anyone else out there have these on?

its a thin piece of wire that is glued on the BACK of your top and botton teeth. i'm getting the normal retainers and these wires are just extra support i guess. any info on these wires would be great (eg. does it affect anything... and i mean.. anything!)

cheers 22/f
I have one as well, and you just feel it for the first week or so. Its so annoying! I played with it so much i got a sore on my tongue! After a week I got used to it and I dont even know its there. Its just a pain to floss with it :\


thank you for your reply!!! i'm not as scared as i was before, to get the fixed retainers on anymore =) thanks a million
