Thanks for your help, April. I think I see what you're saying about the ease of removal if it does the same thing as far as retaining as the permanent ones do....
Mike, thanks for your input. It helps me! :) So you're saying the BOTTOM retainer is supposed to help the TOP too? How? I guess I can't picture that! And the...

Sandy, Hawleys do not cover the entire roof of your mouth. I think you are invisioning the worst. They are not THAT bad. Especially if one is made with your...
Okay, that's what I thought. Oh! I see what I did. When I read your statement about the "front teeth" I read too fast and thought you said "top teeth"! Sandy ...

Oh I see what you're saying, April. What's the difference in the two, or is it too lengthy to explain? Sandy April <anf_redrider@...> wrote: It's not...
Well, I actually remember it tasting gross and all, and don't remember much else about it! But of course, that doesn't last as long as wearing something there...
