I wore braces 18 years ago when I lived in Texas. The orthodontist gave me a retainer afterwards that looks like an invisalign tray. I absolutely loved this retainer and it kept my teeth perfectly straight for years! When I lost it and went to get a new retainer the new orthodontist in Florida gave me a wire one, and I noticed it didn't keep my teeth as perfectly straight even though they insisted it was better. What type of retainer is more effective?
