Why does Miley Cyrus have a lysp?
She doesn't have a lisp anymore. She did have a lisp because she used a retainer (which she calls a flipper - which she reveals in her book). She had braces for a short while but got then removed and switched for a retainer because she couldn't have braces on Hannah Montana. She doesn't use braces or a retainer now.

What is body of retainers called?

What will a retainer do?
A retainer is an orthodontic appliance that is designed to hold the teeth in a specific position. It can be a 'fixed' retainer, which means it is glued in place and is not removed, or it an be a removable retainer that can be removed to clean or eat. Retainers are necessary following orthodontic treatment because bone has a 'memory'; that is, it wants to return to its former position, and in doing so, it will undo all the work to straighten the teeth. By wearing the retainer (sometimes for several years) you make the bone 'forget' its former position, and eventually the teeth will remain in their new position without the retainer.

What are teeth braces used for?
Braces are a band of metal that raps around your teeth and eventually make them straighter. You go once every month, they tighten them and you pick a new color. Don't worry braces don't hurt that bad, but you need to be careful with them and make sure you brush your teeth after every meal or snack because you could get yellow teeth when they take them off, puffy gums and food stuck in your braces! So when you get braces you just need to make sure you are careful to brush all the time.

What happens to teeth after being in braces for six years?
I am 15 and I have been wearing my braces for a few days now. The full length of my treatment is 3 years though. Nothing will happen to your teeth, they will just feel really funny without the brackets on. It will take some time getting used to. I can probably tell that from the extent of your treatment that your teeth were very crooked and resistant, but now they are dazzling. Wear your retainer when you finally get it and as always, don't forget to brush. I hope this helped. P.S. There have been people who have had to wear braces for longer.
