Which retainer??

ok i am going to be getting my braces off soon and i was wondering which retainer works better... the one with the wire or the ones that are clear and fit around the teeth??

Answer:
Don't get the clear one, it doesnt stay in as well as the wire one. And at least if you have to wear the wire one in public people will know why you are talking with a slight lisp instead of them not being able to see the clear one and thinking you just talk goofy. I just stopped wearing my clear retainer because I hate it that much, I definately think you should get the wire one. Plus the wire ones come in exciting things like glow in the dark, stars, and different colors.
no idea. i have the one with the wire. i wasn't given another option.
I have wire on top and clear on the bottom. I much prefer the clearer one, not sure which is most effectivr though.
I have the clear retainers (orthodontist's choice). Both retainers generally do the same, so you shouldn't let choosing retainers bother you.
