This is more a train of thought than anything else, but I was just wondering what others thoughts are.

For a few years I was given a plastic retainer brace. This is a piece of plastic moulded into the shape of my mouth that I would slot into my mouth and then bite into. The purpose of it was to try and correct my bite. I would sleep with this and wear it a few hours in the evening.

I was wondering if this would have increased the rate of mercury leaking from my fillings because my teeth were in contact with the plastic for about 10 hours a day?

In the morning I would remove the brace and then put in the regular brace with a pink centre and metal hoops around the teeth.

I was wondering if this explains why I got so sick within 18 months of having the fillings.
