Awesome experience. If you are willing to do the work (retainers on 22 hrs/day), you will achieve great results. Altho it seems challenges present constantly (social functions, family dinners, travel, dining out, etc),you will be inventive and find shortcuts in your activities to maintain the “22 Hour Rule”. Everyone @ the orthodontic practice is very caring & the Doc provides coaching & support when you need it. And if you really make this your goal, you might even finish a little early.
