Question

Are glued on retainers visible?

Answer 1

No, they are not to other people. Unless you open your mouth really wide and show it to them. They are called "bonded retainers." The clear ones where you cannot see them are called Essix. And the one that you can see and take off with metal in front are called Hawley. But you yourself will see the glued on retainers when you brush your teeth.  

Answer 2

i dont think so.. there usually glued on to the back of your teeth so no one can see it unless there looking at the back of your teeth.
