To be fair some people DO need one, if you have a gap, severe open bite, or severe lower crowding can all cause you to need one. But for most people it’s because we think you’re too lazy to wear your retainer 😅 SO WEAR IT OK! ❤

I didn’t even get an option. They just put it on my bottom teeth.

Got my braces off today and they immediately gave me a permanent retainer. Didn’t have a choice. But in a few weeks I’m coming back to get a real retainer

[Maddiegrace..]

My mom talked my orthodontist out of me getting a permanent retainer and I'm so glad she did that 😭

A water pick is a life saver. Day two with the bottom permanent retainer and I’d take it a thousands times over the actual braces.

My orthodontist never gave me a choice, he just put it on and said good luck😅

"You get two options" *No.* No, you do not get any options. You don't get a choice. All you get is *PERMANENT RETAINEEER*

They put the permanent retainer and gave me the clear retainers to wear only at night, it sucks because I literally struggle to floss in that part! I wear my retainers nightly

I'm very proud of myself. I've had my retainer for almost 5 years now and I've only missed them one night. The night after a major surgery where I was sleeping in the downstairs recliner, not my room where the case was. I struggle a lot with depression and executive dysfunction, so I consider it a huge W 😊

This the only guy in history that’s taking care of your teeth digitally! 🎉

They just gave me both. No questions asked. I got no information about the retainers or the permanent ones. I'm buying a water flosser soon to help with the flossing issue. It's been almost 7 years since I got the permanent ones and I've done pretty great so far.

From what I've been told, my orthodontist doesn't give me an option, I don't want a permanent one 😭😭😭

[TheLeiaOrgana]

I didn’t get an option. I was told I had to have both. And here I am; 17 years later with my permanent still chillin in my mouth.

“You have 2 options” they just gave me both without asking

I just recently had my lower permanent retainer removed. The bonding crumbled away and the wire was just flopping around lol. But it did last 25 years and the orthodontist said that it was the longest lasting one in his career. And yes, my regular dentist absolutely hated it and lectured me every appointment. Flossing was done with the water pick.

The fact that most orthodontists don’t give you a choice is so frustrating. I never had an issue with wearing my retainer before braces, but I still ended up with a permanent one on my bottom teeth and all the restrictions that come with it.

[MichelleJ]

When I had braces back in the late 80s early 90s, I had some seriously jacked up teeth. I worked too long and too hard to get my teeth straight that I was not going to let them go crooked again. I made sure I wore my retainers like I was supposed to!

[neostarkatz]

My orthodontist put one on me without asking and then refused to take it off. Eventually it broke off and he refused to remove the left over glue stuff that was still there and said that he would only put the permanent retainer back on but I refused. I stopped seeing the orthodontist and I had to go to an all new dentist office before I could get the left over glue removed. That was also the day I found out that my old dentist had never scraped the tartar off my teeth in my entire childhood.

I did NOT have a choice😂 they were like "here now you have this for the rest of your life"
