Which retainer is more comfortable? The clear one or the metal one? :)?

help pleasee :)Which retainer is more comfortable? The clear one or the metal one? :)?
metal retainers





though you sound a little funny when you speak haha





i dont like the clear ones because of the plaque that will eventually build up on it and it looks gross when you take it out





also the metal ones are fun the play with lolWhich retainer is more comfortable? The clear one or the metal one? :)?
I had both retainers and the plastic one is extremely painful and a hassle to take out and such. With the metal retainer it is permanent and you don't have to worry about taking it out beforing eating and cleaning it. I've never had any problems with the metal retainer breaking and I've had it in for two years whereas the plastic one broke after a few weeks.
I would say neither are comfortable.


I prefer my metal one though. I have one of each.


The metal one is more effective and has fewer problems, my clear one for my top teeth never really fit my teeth because it kept curving so they gave me a metal one.


I think the metal one looks cooler, and it seems more reliable. Plus, it's more durable, I grind my teeth and I've almost destroyed my bottom clear one by now. My top metal one is just fine.
I personally have the clear 1 and find it comfortable.





Just before not to use it as a bleaching tray because it will discolor and turn to yellow.
I would go with the clear plastic one. It's almost invisible, less expensive of you lose it and it can double as a bleaching tray! You can buy bleach by the tube for about $10 which will last 2-3 applications.
Clear one sucks cause of the top to put in.





Metal one sucks cause the bottom part makes you gag.





Either or they both suck but they both get the job done.
i like the metal one better because the clear one covers your entire tooth(s) and the metal only covers a line of it.
