Are permanent retainer wires removable? Is it possible that if the patient wanted them removed, they could be?!


Question: Are permanent retainer wires removable.? Is it possible that if the patient wanted them removed, they could be.?
I had my braces taken off recently, and my orthodontist told me that if I wanted to have straight teeth permanently, I would have to get little wires glued to the backs of my front and back teeth.. Although they are called permanent, I would assume this only references the amount of time they are supposed to be on for.. Does that mean it is possible to have the orthodontist remove them at a later date.?Health Question & Answer

My bottom teeth are not straight now.. I would at least get the kind you can take in and out.. As for grinding your teeth, you can buy OTC kits to make a mold for grinding your teeth at night.. (its a rubbery substance) Grind you teeth does alot of damage!

Teeth grinding (the proper name is bruxism) can not only be irritating - it can be dangerous, too..

My name is Charles Harrison.. Throughout my childhood, I would grind my teeth at night.. By the time I was 9, you could notice that my teeth were as flat as if they were filed down!

At 12 years old, I finally found a dentist who understood the damage I was causing to myself.. He explained to me that it was called bruxism and he helped me understand why it was so important to stop..

He fitted me with a $500
