Sometimes when getting the braces off, the orthodontist will cement the retainer behind the upper and lower teeth. This is the best kind of retainers to get as your daughter will never forget to wear the removable retainer nor loose them. When the braces are removed it takes a good year for your daughter gum tissues to get firm again. The gum tissues are soft from the braces and all the moving of teeth. There are times when taking off the braces and the orthodontist is no satisfied with the completion of treatment, therefore in your daughter situation the upper front teeth are not completly closed and the orthodontist wants to be make sure her front teeth stay in the right positon until the gum tissues are firm again. I would suggest that you let the orthodontist to do it as she already done 99% of the work already. She only has to wear them at night in order to get the perfect smile for life.
