My son has broken a wire on his retainer (again), any idea how they fix these?? I am really sick of the drs.?
Question:
Answers:
you can't fix it, it has to be bent back or fused back in the lab. only the orthodontist knows the way the wire should be moved to. you could ask your doc for what's called an essix retainer. it's clear and made of plastic. your son wouldn't be as likely to break it then. also, it's estheticly pleasing :o)
there's no way for u to fix them.. cuz u dont know what ur doing.. it's best to let them fix it. and if u dont get it fixed now it could mess up his teeth even more.
