Don't worry. I wish I could have done 2 years with them. And don't worry about the pulling out the teeth thing. I loved it. They gassed me up lol It was so fun Good luck though. They feel really weird and your teeth are sensitive to everything but it'll pass.

Did your doctor tell you anything about not chewing gum? I had just gotten my braces and I forgot about them and started chewing a gum. It was such a mess to take out, it was all stuck to my retainer. And if you ever need some funny stories to cheer you up, just ask me. I have been through so much with my braces. On Christmas I was eating a candy cane and it got stuck in this little hole my retainer. A WHOLE CANDY CANE! I swear. I got more stories if you need any... lol
