Okay, this is going to sound odd, but I need advice. I want to buy something, but I'm unsure as to what. I've looked at the products in the store, and it gets a bit confusing at times as to what is suitable and what not. Activators and Hansa plates and bionators and and and....
I am essentially looking for two things - one is almost the opposite of each other.
The first item I am looking for is something that will "fill my mouth". Top and bottom, and make it almost impossible to speak, and eating totally out of the question - drinking water will still be required, of course. Something big and bulky that is obvious and will be visible when I'm wearing it. This is my "extreme retainer" - this is a fetish item because sometimes I just need a mouth full of stuff!
the second item is a bit more "low key" - something like a normal Hawley retainer that I can wear but I need to be able to speak clearly and chew in it, for "long term" wear. This is more legitimate than fetish/fun
I need headgear tubes on both of these, but I do not want fake brackets - it must be a "real" appliance. If it's possible to wear elastics on either or both of these, it would be great, but not a necessity.
So, anyone able to give any help?
