    My sister wore braces for like 2 years and a half. After they took her braces off she had to wear retainers at night and one night they fell of and my dog chew them or something. At the end she never asked for new retainers and 2 yeas later she got a gap between her teeth and had to wear braces for another year...so yeah make sure you ask for new retainers as soon as possible or else you will end up like my sister or keep just keep them away from dogs lol

  • @singjenn
    @singjenn 5 років тому +24

    Shout out to me. Hahaha I make retainers. Since you said you didn't know how they were made, let me explain...
    1. After the impression is taken, the lab tech pours them up. This is where they mix up stone (aka plaster) and "pour up" the impression. The stone is vibrated into every nook and cranny with a a special machine for stone.
    2. after the model has set up (the time it takes depends on what is mixed with the powder stone and type of stone used), it is removed from the impression.
    3. Next, it is taken over to the model trimmer and trimmed. You want to have a flat surface on the bottom and no flange on the sides or front. This is also when I turn my machine on for actually making them.
    4. Then, I prep the model. I knock off all bubbles (these are caused my air pockets when the impression is taken). They can be tiny to large. I also check to see if anything needs to be blocked out - lingual retainers (fixed, metal wire), baby teeth and various other things.
    5. Once the model is ready I place the plastic sheet into the suckdown machine and melt the plastic. Once the plastic sags where it needs to be, the vacuum is turned on and it sucks the plastic around all parts of the model.
    6. The next thing is to place in water (or spray with setting spray if that's what your office uses) so it's not hot for the next step.
    7. This step could be eliminated depending on the tools each office uses, but this is where I use a Dremel. I cut out around the retainer roughly.
    8. Next I use scissors and cut off the excess so that the plastic goes slightly above the gumline.
    9. After they are trimmed, I use a special smoothing wheel to make sure it has no rough spots.
    10. The final step is a rinse with cold water to make sure there are no stone pieces left behind.
    Depending on the experience and knowledge of the lab tech retainers can be made in a short amount of time. I can make retainers in as little as 7 minutes. I hope that helps you learn about the process of making retainers. If you have any questions, just ask! :)

      It depends on your orthodontic treatment. Some people have it for 1 or 3 years, while others may have it for longer. This all depends on the state of your teeth and also age. For me, I have to wear my retainer for 3 years at night, but I started off with 15 hours for the first month.

    This is a good to hear. I have never write braces on my entire life. Also to keep the retainers safe always put it inside your drawer or a place thst you mostly pack and unpack. But it is okay if you made this late about the braces tips and tutorial. Very soon I will make music theory vids. I always brush my teeth twice daily or when I am done eating. People have different things. I agree that it varies and depends on other people wearing retainer

    Hey Emma! I just got my braces off today and was looking for something like this so ty! Even though this is a really old video, I have been watching all your braces videos my whole journey with braces and they have honestly been so helpful! One thing I recommend though is don't use hand soap to clean your retainers. You can get a retained cleaner, which is a sort of machine (that I have) which is called sonic cleaner, as well as tablettes (like disclosing tablets) that help clean as well. I do this once a week, to make sure my teeth don’t become a breeding ground for bacteria! Anyone who is getting their braces off soon, it’s totally fine, and isn’t that painful. Good luck!

    Hello Emma, thanks again for sharing this informative video with us. There's some important questions i forgot to ask on my comment yesterday.
    1. Can you eat, chew meat, chicken, salad or drink hot drinks with this Fixed or Permanent Retainer you now have on ( which is glued in-between the middle of the teeth ) ?
    2. Does it cause any kind of discomfort and do you feel like getting it removed sometimes?
    3. What kind of Flossing is suitable for this Fixed Retainer or what type are you using ( being that it's impossible to use a regular flossing because of the tiny wire lining up the teeth ) ?
    4. How do you manage to maintain the whiteness of your teeth after whitening or what kind of toothpaste do you use ?
    Am planning on getting the Fixed Retainer after am done with my Aligners program. This video really helped me in knowing why I have to swallow a lot of spit while wearing the Aligner Retainers as well as me having problem closing my mouth after when wearing the Aligners. And you spoke about this in your video.
    I will appreciate your response :).

      I just got my braces out like 2 weeks ago and I only have to wear my retainers at night. Well, I can wear it at any time actually as long as I wear it for 6-7 hours a day so I just wear it at night. I'm so glad I don't have to wear them all day!
