Not sure if I have a weird scenario, but after a year and a half of trays, my teeth were great. They couldn't fix the bite completely, which is one of the downers of the treatment plan, but I was OK with that at the time.
What REALLY bothers me, is that after getting permanent retainers on my top and bottom teeth and wearing a clear retainer every night, my teeth are STILL SHIFTING BACK. My permanent retainers break every month on average and my orthodontist has to reglue or replace it entirely, and she has no idea why this is happening and there is not other way to hold the teeth in place. My eye teeth are turning in...I think the crowding in my mouth might be too much and the plastic retainer simply cannot hold it. Neither can the metal retainers. Bone vs. metal and plastic....bone will win. Either way, I was satisfied when I got them off, but it all shifted back so quickly. 7,500 total in treatment with no insurance in the state of new york, and I'm almost back to square one. One of the most frustrating experiences of my life.
