I need a new Orthodontic retainer?


I had braces and my teeth looked good but being a college guy I never wore my retainer and not I lost them, I dont live real close to my orthodintist, can I make appointment with a new Orthodontist closer to me or do I have to take a few days off work to go back home. Thanks for any help

I am 17. I am getting a palatal expander on Dec. 20. Will it work?



Answers:
You can call a local office (or ask people you know/coworkers for a recommendation) and ask them their policy, visit your original ortho office when you are home visiting, or you can try a local dental school with an orthodontics department to see if they can help.

I just got my wisdom teeth pulled. I am starving. What can I eat beyond pudding, apple sauce, and ice cream?

I would try calling the orthodontist close to you and telling them your scenario, I would think they would be able to make you a new retainer.
