when i was in the 8th grade i got braces. after a year i got them off and recieved my first set of retainers.
Only took me a few months to loose the top one at volleyball open gym and my dad threw the bottoms away at mcdonalds. and might i add that my dad refused to get me a new pair!
I decided it was time...almost 6 1/2 years later i decide i need my teeth back to what they were originally paid for!
I got my second pair of retainers yesterday and boy to i feel stupid. I know people can get braces all their life but geezz i cant talk with them in, my teeth just ache and ache with a constant stinging pain ugh it hurts bad!
i just feel dumb, i go to talk to people at work...they cant understand me, i went to barnes and noble and my boyfriend was ordering a drink from starbucks and they asked me if i wanted something after saying umm for about 10 seconds because i couldnt remember what i always get i kinda laughed a little at myself and of course i show my teeth when i laugh and the girls behind the counter just looked at me like "wtf is in your mouth, cause whatever it is boy it's tacky"
I know they couldnt tell it was a retainer from where i was standing but com'on they dont have to be rude to me just because theirs retainers in my mouth.
Grr, just makes me mad!
