nhs dental veneers

I wasn't trying to patronise you, I was asking because you refered to your sister's trouble with her retainer but I saw no reference to you personally having problems. I also thought you'd know that it's hard to get teeth perfect and that retainers could be very painful for some people, if you'd had them yourself seeing as the dentist should warn you about possible problems. Gee, if you get mad at someone just asking you if you'd had braces yourself, I don't see why you couldn't be a little more sensitive to sweetie999. Please calm down and set a good example as a moderator.

Wow, and if the last sentence wasn't patronising, I don't know what was!

My comment to sweetie asking why she didn't question them taking them off when they weren't straight was in response to her previous post which had sounded like she was complaining about that very thing. I know that it's not always possible to get everything perfect, but she obviously wasn't happy with that so I was wondering why she hadn't said/done anything at the time.

To be honest I didn't realise retainers were that painful - I thought they were just meant to hold the teeth in place once the braces had done the work, do that the bony sockets could regrow around them, rather than move them further.

Oh, and thanks to the person who neg repped me. Occasionally I am blunt, though obviously I'd show more discretion IRL. If patients are not compliant with treatment, and then expect everything for free, it is frustrating.
