do you get your braces off when you get your retainer measurements?
I have braces on my teeth and I have had them for a long time. My next dentist appointment says that I am going to be measured for my retainer, at least that's what the postcard says. Don't they have to take the braces off to measure for a retainer?

I don't know how but i know my sister got measured for her retainer with her braces still on. I think they just took the metal bar off and then did the imprint thing and filled in the places where her braces were, but i'm really not sure. It also probably depends on what type of retainer you're getting. I think you should probably just call your orthodontist and ask, but if he didn't tell you you were getting your braces off then you're probably not.

I think they do because the measurement has to be right and i dont think you can wear a retainer over a mouthful of braces but you can call the dentist office to make sure that would probably be the best way.
