So I had retainers when I was like 13/14 and I did't really wear them that much tbh.

I completed the treatment with them and then went on to have braces however I gagged so much that they couldn't fit the braces.

We were meant to book another appointment but that never happened.

So 2/3 years on I want my gap between front teeth gone!

But I really don't want braces, is it possible just to have retainers again?

thoughts...

You need braces. Ring up so they can give you an appointment to get you on the waiting list.

They won't fit your braces straight away unless you go private. The waiting lists in this country are like a year long.

I had my first appointment in September 2014. I had my braces on in February 2015 and I had them off in October 2015 and have worn retainers nightly ever since.

literally the thing you have to hold at the back of your mouth, I can't do that, no no.

Cal.
15-05-2016, 09:33 PM
Oh yeah you won't have to wait for your braces then. But like can't you explain that you have a weak gag reflex or whatever? Surely there must be something they can do

I hope so, did you have to hold this thing at the back at your mouth?

Like what if I start gagging hysterically whilst there fitting them and then the braces slip off and I choke to death?

Cal.
15-05-2016, 09:34 PM
I liked getting them off?

Like I didn't enjoy getting them tightened and being in pain every 6 weeks for a few days

Cherie

I don't think you are going you do anything without braces Will, there are some new ones out, fast braces and six month smiles,not you can wear a retainer, you should be able to manage braces

Nnnn is it your molds? Just concentrate on the ceiling/wall or whatever for the 30 seconds they're in there

oh yeah the tightening was agony

I really wanted to rip them off everytime they got tightened. Ice cold water and paracetamol helps though

Dollface

just go "meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow" in your head, you'll be concentrating so hard on the meow's you wont even know what's going on

that's what i do anyway

you can actually train yourself not to have a gag reflex, it takes practice and patience but it's doable

Will.

No it was like this thing I had to hold at the back whilst they fitted them, I thought It was going to slip and fall down my throat.

But maybe health care has evolved since then.

How long do they take to fit?

There is nothing to be done then :fist: apart from filing down the teeth and getting them capped

I tried that today in the hallway but I suddenly couldn't take it and gagged but it sounded like I was screaming, I was embarrassed.

I didn't have anything I had to hold no.

It takes about 45 minutes for both sets to go on. Well it did for me anyway.

Maybe surgery is the answer

hmm it was at the beginning and it was like holding mouth open wide I think.

Can you take a little break and breather once they put a bit on?
