Topic	What's the point of retainers?
Chunky 04/25/23 1:52:28 PM #1:	Do you agree with me? Yes 100% I agree with some of your points but not all I don't think you know what you're talking about Do you agree with me? - Results (13 votes) Yes 100% 0% (0 votes) 0 I agree with some of your points but not all 7.69% (1 vote) 1 I don't think you know what you're talking about 92.31% (12 votes) 12 For those who don't know, you get retainers after you're done with braces. They keep your teeth in their new location, and you have to wear them for the rest of your life. Eventually you can start wearing them only at night, but you'll never get to stop wearing them forever. Why they don't seem necessary to me: They keep your teeth straight, but is it worth it if you have a piece of metal sticking out (from the retainer)? Why not wear the braces forever? At least with them you don't have to constantly take them off and back on. Why not just have dentures? Not saying dentures are better, but they both require a lot of maintenance. The only time it seems beneficial if the crooked teeth causes issues with your health. If they don't, then retainers do not seem worth it. They're an extreme burden, they don't look good, you have to wear them for the rest of your life. Let me know your thoughts. I would actually like to know what I'm missing. --- The n00b of MBH and CE - and proud of it! President Chunkey Simmons, running for 2016. <cite>Chunky posted [p:973067712] in What's the...
