Clear Retainer for Top Teeth and Cleaning Routine for Fixed Retainers

I had just a quick visit to my orthodontist today to make sure that my top clear retainer fitted, the one on the pink box. It just needed a little trimming as it was hard to get off and on but then it was fine.
They provided me with the Retainer Brite to use 2 to 3 times a week, and I've put together a little kit to show you what I use to keep my lovely straight teeth and their hidden fixed retainers clean.
Firstly my Oral-B toothbrush. I've been using this brand since my dentist used to sell them to me for 2/6 (12½p)!
Secondly Oral-B toothpaste. I like this new one which really polishes my teeth clean.
Thirdly TePe Interdental brushes. These have been so useful to clean around my Incognito and Inspire Ice braces and now I use the finest pink one to clean in between the teeth with fixed braces.
I have another check-up in about six weeks when some photographs will be taken, and that's it. I think that I only have to go back once a year to make sure that everything is ok.   

Incognito Braces - I'll Soon Be Having Them Off (Or De-bonded!)

At yesterday's appointment, my orthodontist tried the firmest wire, but it still did not fit, so he's replaced the one I had and added some chain elastics to make it firmer. A little gap has opened up since last time between my right front tooth and the next one. He said that he could 'polish' it to make them fit more snuggly together, but I'm not sure because the mechanical polisher is a bit scary and noisy, although it doesn't hurt.
I've got just two more appointments before my Incognito Brace is removed, or de-bonded, at last. That will be almost a year to the day, since my Inspire Ice Brace was removed too.
When I made the appointment for the de-bonding, the receptionist drew a smiley face on my card. Yippee!
