[quote=Anonymous]DS was fitted with his retainers 2 years ago and whilst his friends only wore them full time for a few months the Ortho has insisted he wears then full time for just over 2 years so far!! He was a particularly complex case with palate expansion etc etc, but he is really sick of wearing them now and at age 17 he doesn't want a mouthful of plastic and wire when he wants to feel like an adult and date girls etc. Other kids have said stuff to him about it and he feels embarrassed. One girl said she wouldn't date a guy with Retainer breath which was cruel! Ortho is worried about the stability of his palate/dentition and has said DS may need to wear the Retainers full time into his 20's!!!! It's just ridiculous and he is depressed as hell about it. He says the taste of plastic puts him off food and he has lost weight over the last few years, and his breath smells etc. [/quote]
