For those of you that have had braces, which retainer did you decide to go with? The old-fashioned one that sticks to the roof of your mouth, the removable plastic one that goes over your teeth, or the wire behind your teeth? Are you happy with your choice? I know it's a stupid question, but I want opinions, as I get my braces off next month.
 
You get to choose? WTF. D:

they just gave me the old one. I had a big one that went on the roof of my mouth ..and then a smaller one that I stuck in the bottom.

I got my braces off in the middle of my freshmen year. And I had to wear the retainers every night. Though not anymore, cause I stopped wearing them ..and when I went to put them back on another day ...they wouldn't fit. O:

My teeth haven't shifted all that much though.

I'd say removable plastic sounds the best. o_O

They get really disgusting I have one and I would rather have the old fashion kind
 
I have a removable plastic one, and I always brush my teeth before putting it on again so it doesn't smell bad.
 
I originally had the one that sticks to the top of my mouth, then the braces, then the removable plastic one. That's was for over four years, and I STILL have to wear the removable one at night.
 
They're all removable...
 
YOU GET TO CHOOSE? D=

I have two wire ones that I have behind my teeth, and a removable plastic one for nightime.
 
Since when do people get to choose? Damn.

I have three retainers sadly. I have removable ones for both sets of teeth, and then a permanent wire one on the back of my lower teeth.

BTW? What are the old-fashioned ones?

That's what the orthodontist assistant was trying to talk me into. And my friend said I should use the wires too. Are they comfortable?

Ones that stick to the roof and bottom of your mouth. I'm not sure if the wire attached goes in front of or behind your teeth.

This is exactly what happened to me. Only my teeth shifted more than you seem to describe... my retainers (the "old-fashioned" ones) no longer fit into my mouth correctly.

I remember when I first got them... so disgusting. They were some of the most horrid things I had ever tasted, next to the cement they used to put the brackets for the braces on. D:
 
Removable plastic.

My orthodontist says they are better than the metal kind as they stop your teeth from shifting more than the metal ones. The wire behind your teeth is known as a permanent retainer.
