Help!!!!
I had braces around 15-20 years ago. Teeth remain straight but have had some movement. Keen to prevent this getting worse.
I grind my teeth at night used to wear a guard but have lost this.
I need to buy a retainer to stop teeth moving further and as a grind guard. I called the local dentist last week who has said due to covid and being closed etc they have a large waiting list and are prioritising people in pain. I will phone back tomorrow to confirm whether the waiting list is likely to be weeks or months but I didnt get the impression I'd be hitting the top of the list any time soon.
I see there are various websites offering to make retainers by sending you out putty to make a mould. One site I found called Bite will do top and bottom for £90. This seems like a good price. Has anyone used one of these online services and was it fine? I don't want to do any damage...
