Permeant retainer glue thinning out
Hi everyone, I’ve had a permeant retainer on my lower teeth since 2019. Last year in October 2025, I got the glue touched up on all spots as it got thinned out and I was scared that one day it would fully come out.
Today, while I was flossing, I noticed on one tooth the glue has significantly got thinned compared to the other glue on the surrounding teeth being a nice round bubble dot of glue.
Do you think I should go back to my ortho and tell them to fix it for free knowing that I came in and paid for glue to be touched up again or is this much wear and tear expected?? I don’t grind my teeth or bite into hard food. I hate to keep paying for this glue service every few months, seems unreasonable!!
