Bonded retainer? ?

Question

are they going to take it out...or is it going to be there forever

Answer 1

Normally it is permanent, but sometimes they do remove them later. You need to be sure to use a Waterpik daily on these and get regular 6 month cleanings, or later in life you can begin to have bone loss that causes your teeth to loosen up and be lost.

Answer 2

It will always be there, unless they remove it. Mine is bonded to each of my bottom teeth and will probably be there until I die!!! I wish I could have it out, though. I feel like it has to be bad to have a piece of metal in my mouth all of the time!! I bought some extra hard floss that lets me floss under the retainer.. It is sooooo much better than those threader things, what a pain in the *** those are!!!  

Answer 3

I think it is going to be there until you remove it, like when you have a lawyer on retainer, it is a fee that keeps this option open to you.
