Yes it is a bonded retainer. Did you get a regular removable retainer also.? Sometimes they do both. It is really odd that they didn't explain what it was to you and how to floss with it and stuff. If you really don't like it, call your ortho and ask if there is a way you can just use a removable retainer like the Hawley or Essex retainer.Health Question & Answer
Sounds like a bonded retainer. Its to keep your teeth from shifting. Very likely you will have it for a long time. You might ask your ortho if you can have something you can take out. Problem is he might be afraid you wont wear it. Kids usually don't so he put it on you full time.Health Question & Answer
