I wore my retainer diligently every night for 10 years and would’ve happily continued doing so for the rest of my life until my sister came up to me one day and she was like, “You’ve been wearing that retainer so long, you don’t need them anymore, don’t worry your teeth won’t shift.” And I stupidly believed her and stopped wearing my retainer and now my teeth have shifted so much I need braces again. 😭
Oh noo
This is exactly what happened to me and I’m still pissed off 20 years later. I was told back then that I only needed to wear them full time for 3 months then only at night for 6 months and then I could completely stop altogether. I stupidly threw them away when I went to college and some of my teeth starting going back to the way they were. Nowhere near as bad as they were. But now I have an overbite again, and one of my front teeth sits more forward that the other. I believe the real problem is that my braces were not left on long enough. Dr. originally said 2 1/2 years, but cut it short to 1 1/2 years because he said they moved faster than he thought. Wish I had told him to leave them on longer, but I was young and desperate to get my smile back.
That's horrific
Idk bro ur teeth shouldnt have shifted after TEN YEARS of wearing retainers consistently ur bones should have solidified.
have you guys tried the “permanent” retainers? I know I personally couldn’t get a top one bc of the way my bottom teeth hit my inner teeth. but if you don’t have much of an over bite , might be nice to look into!
I'm jealous of all the girlies with naturally straight teeth 😔
Me tooo 😢
U shouldnt have mouth breathed as a kid then
@@Nihil-druid1how were we suppose to know?
@@Nihil-druid1wdym by mouth breathed?
@@alexwanj6474mouth breathing at night aka sleeping with your mouth open causes crooked teeth.
Problem with braces is once off, your teeth continue to shift throughout life and you will always need to wear a retainer or the teeth will get worse. Its life long treatment
no its because u have garbage teeth because ur a mouth breather and have garbage genetics
I wasn't told this before treatment and was forced into it by a parent as a teen, my teeth were honestly fine beforehand but after painful debilitating treatment I was informed I had to now wear a retainer for the rest of my life... I was heartbroken, it caused me so many sensory issues (I have a sensory processing disorder) and I couldn't live with the retainer. I had been so grateful to free my teeth... Years later and my teeth have shifted a lot, a lot more compared to if I never gotten the expensive waste-of-money treatment in the first place :/
honestly, kids/teens should never be forced into it if it's for cosmetic reasons. I was never properly educated on it and had I been I would have fought harder against it, but my parents were convinced and the orthodontist wanted to make a buck lmao
@@sleepybear2391can’t you still put in your retainers?
Unless your teeth were real bad before, its really not worth it. Just a consistent pain
@@whatdadogdoin9818 the last time I wore my retainer was back in 2012, so trying to force it on just seems... Painful and maybe even harmful. My point being that when I got braces ( or Invisalign in my case) I wasn't taught that I would require retainers at all, I basically went through it thinking once I got them off I was done for good, hence my major disappointment lol
Just got my retainer today. I made sure to ask my dentist every question I could think of because there is no way in hell I am going through braces again 😂
Are we supposed to wear retainers our whole life ?
@@bahaeeddinnafter braces you wear your retainer all the time for 3 months. then only at night forever
@@pouncebounce but I heard that some people don't wear it their whole life
@@bahaeeddinn me too but i would be too scared to try that after spending thousands on braces
I had braces as a teen im now in my mid 30s I wore my retainers a whole yr and then didn't, the shifting that occurred for me happen to my lower teeth when I got pregnant at 29..I also am a dental assistant please wear the retainer forever if you don't want shifting to occur
my braces + expander cost $6k so there’s no way i’m ever gonna stop wearing my retainer unless told otherwise lmao
Same I know it’s gonna be painful but if I’m paying 7k there is no way I’m gonna not wear it at all. Ridiculous

I'm 90 percent done with braces, and I will DILIGENTLY wear my retainers. I've worked so hard just to straighten my teeth 😢
Update 9 months later: I got my braces off back in July, and now I only have to wear my retainer in the night ✨
Wear them, and if people criticize you for wearing retainers, don’t pay them any attention. Trust me. I’ve been wearing mine for ten years. Teeth still straight, and all people ask me how my teeth are so straight. I have a friend and all his bottom teeth shifted and now needs braces again
Same I got mine off 5 months ago, and I’ve been wearing my retainers 23 hours a day every since. Idk how people don’t wear it after all that hard work of braces
I have worn my retainers for 2 years now and I can't anymore
I didn’t even want braces, I play an instrument. I was fine with my tooth gap smh 🤦🏾♀️
Same, got 4 teeth out just for straight teeth, it’s so worth it at the end, keep your teeth heathy
My parents couldnt afford to get braces for my sister and i when we were in school, so it always annoyed me when the kids that had them would complain about them and then wouldnt wear their retainers after. When i got my first job i paid for braces myself and i never complained and religiously wore my retainer. Theyre fricken expensive so i would never dream of letting all that money and treatment go to waste.
I hear you. My mom worked an extra job for my braces so I don’t get it. 38 year old who wears retainers at least 3 nights a week.
I got my braces off in 1998 and I still wear my retainers every single night. I can’t sleep without them. Still have perfect teeth. 🙏🏼
Every when do you change your retainers?
@@gisellez I’ve had the same ones for 15+ years because they’re a crazy durable plastic. They are the exact mold of my teeth from the day I got my braces off. I clean them every day, obviously. They’re still in pretty great shape for being so old! 🤷🏼♀️
@@madeinamericababy how do you wore it at the beginning? I mean do u wore it at night only or 24/7 for the first 3 months?
@@ariess7394 for me I had to wear them everyday for 2 weeks and I would only take them out to drink or eat (obviously people get different advice) and now I only wear them at night there are a few nights where I forget to put them in or have forgotten to take them to the place I’m going but that’s quite rare
@@madeinamericababy ngl the stuff back then were SOLID
I doubt you will find retainers that durable these days
Explain to me how people’s parents pay thousands of dollars for braces and then they don’t wear their retainer. I wore mine every. Single. Night for like three years. Now I can go two or three days without, but I make sure to wear it a couple times a week at least.
Edit: You guys realize not all human beings on planet earth have depression right? I asked a general question, you guys are giving me very specific answers and implying those answers are law. If you have depression and it makes it hard for you to take care of things like basic hygiene, okay. I’m not saying you’re lying. But not everyone has depression. Just because you have it, doesn’t mean the world has it. Take care and I hope you’re able to find treatment.
Here’s your trophy 🏆
@@DB-ir3un I don’t need a trophy. I have pretty teeth.
This is me literally
i wore my retainer everyday for about four ish years then i started getting tired of it and haven’t worn it for like four months so kinda scared to put it back on now rip
I mean in my case I have this thing called mental illness and I just physically can't take care of myself sometimes because of it 🤷
I'm sure other people just forget or never form a habit of wearing it. And would probably be harder to forget if they were the one, not their parents, paying for it.
I can imagine the pain she's in. Stopped wearing mine for couple of months and although wearing them again wasn't extremely painful, it was extremely uncomfortable.
Jesus loves you all ❤️ his the only why to heaven❤
I wore my Molly retainers for like 2 months and I started noticing that my gap in my teeth started coming back so I wore the plastic retainer last night and my teeth hurt. They feel like I have braces once again
My dad accidentally threw my retainers away while cleaning the house angrily. My mom was supposed to make me an orthodontist appointment the get new ones(since I was in like 8th grade) and she never did. I'm so gonna need braces again. I'm 20 now😅
"cleaning the house angrily" is such a mood lmao

Lol eventhough he probably paid for it
wow sucks for me im not paying for that again lol
I didn't wear my retainer for almost a year and a half due to lack of routine in lockdown and a simultaneous depressive episode. When I went to put it back in my bottom was fine and my top had only suffered minor movement (thankfully) however I could barely fit them in. To fix this I would wear them half on every night until I noticed I was able to get them 100% on. Now back to wearing them every night :D
Omg exact same situation crazyyy

HI BENTIST-

*PUHHH*
Hello
I was told i only needed to wear my retainers for about a year when actually I should’ve worn them for the rest of my life, orthodontists lied to me
i was never even told about retainers. for over a year i was looking forward excited for the day i’d finally get my braces taken off thinking that would be it 😒
That clicking sound almost gave me a heart attack 😳
If I ever get braces and had to wear retainers, I'm not gonna waste money not wearing them knowing how expensive they can be...
That’s what everyone says
That’s what I said but I only wear them like once or twice a week😭
Exactly!!
@@DB-ir3un actually i had to get braces and I do wear the retainers every night
Yep, I would feel like I’m wasting money.
I'm on my last month of Invisilgns. My first 2-3 weeks were so painful. There's no way I could voluntarily feel that pain again. I will definitely wear my retainer daily. The sound of her top tray was all the convincing I need.
it only hurt the first few days when I took them off for me and it would stop when I put them back on again
i’m getting removable braces this week…i’m scared….does it hurt rlly bad or bearable bad? :((
How much did it cost ? The invisiligner treatment?
Haven’t worn mine in 10 years and my teeth are still super straight
I find it weird.. I wore my retainer for 5 years, then it some how broke. I'm wondering if it was one of my cats, knocked it off a nightstand or something, but I'd taken it to my orthodontist at the time and they were just like..
"How long have you been wearing it?"
"5 years?"
"Eh you'll be fine."
Teeth haven't shifted at all since. So guess it's a case by case basis?
I didn’t wear my retainer for years after I got out of high school. I don’t know what provoked me to start again but I went back to my ortho for a new set... several hundred dollars later, now that I’ve spent my own money, I’m totally committed to wearing them every single night. In fact, I actually feel like something is off if I don’t wear them to bed for some reason, like my nighttime routine isn’t complete and I can’t sleep yet. I really enjoy them!
Thats exactly my story!
With me when they told me I only had to wear them at night I just stopped, haven't worn them in months and when I tired putting them back in it hurt to much and I gave up, idc really anymore and the main problem teeth didn't move so I chilling
same here! but instead i ended up getting braces and will do better this time lol
Same, have you ever heard of Invisalign vivera retainer. I got a set of 4 for about $500 all 4 sets. Compared to my original orthodontist, he wanted to charge me $1000 for these sets. I did get them with another dentist by me, but they though I was an original customer so I got 100 off. Either way these retainers are good too
Did you have to go through the moulding process of your teeth shape again?
I only wore my retainer for like 2 years. I haven't used my retainers in 4 years and my teeth haven't shifted significantly. I was blessed lmao
I think its genetics, my parents alsp had braces. Havent worn invisalign for decades and still have somewhat straight teeth
I’m the same way, I just got tired of wearing it after I got out of college and it’s been about 10 years only I can tell anything but their still really straight, just not right where they were before!
or you're old.
i wore them for around 2 years too, i had to stop because of an infection that i couldnt get properly treated because it was during lockdown. my teeth have moved but i dont think theyre as bad as before and my overbite is kinda fixed so ive just accepted that theyll never be straight
@@NoRockinMansLanddefinitely mostly genetics. some people’s teeth begin shifting a year or two after braces are off without a retainer and others go most of their life without wearing their retainer properly and kept their straight teeth. it’s also to do with the age you get them (younger ages tend to see less shifting as their facial structure is still developing.)
Wear your retainers people! Some people can go without wearing it ever again, but some people (like me) cannot, and their teeth will move. But you don't know that until you stop wearing it. I stopped for about a month, and couldn't get them back on again. Now I want Invisalign to fix the movement
I lost my retainer and was living in a different state.
I found out about teeth retain designs they made me a perfect retainer online from home this industry has come a long way
As someone who’s needed braces and has never been able to afford them, it’s astonishing to me that parents or people in general can spend thousands of dollars on braces, just for the recipient of said braces to not care for the teeth properly. Just ridiculous to me.
How do you know that her parents paid that? Some ppl get braces as adults. But either way its not like kids ask for braces, no one told them to pay that 💀 you can say its for their health but it dont seem like it matter
@@casswashwash1070 the insurance literally pays it 💀
@@casswashwash1070 Lowkey true
A o lol it if people get them as kids. AMD well you know kids may not understand how expensive they are.
@@IsaacKapone405 No typically insurance doesn’t cover even half the cost of braces…
that is what invisalign feels like, honestly. They said the first two sets would hurt, I’m on 22 and it still hurts. I wear them for like 22-23 hours a day.
Oh no ! For me it only hurt first couple weeks then it stopped
Mine it hurt me the first aligner. But not bad, just uncomfortable to chew food. I thought I was done with my treatment. But no :( I'm at 36, waiting for the rest. I used them for nine months. One every week. They are almost perfect except for four tooth on the top. :(
In my case it stopped hurting after the first 3 days of the first set and it hasn't hurt again. Wishing the best for you
does taking out ad putting tray back in , make tray loose its grip ???
@@vizx8574 nope
I have a tip for anyone who has been wearing a loose retainer for a while after getting braces and doesn't want to have to put it in and out every night/day or is afraid that their teeth will move back to their original position. There is the option of having the orthodontist stick a wire behind your teeth, but this will remain for life. I've had this since I was 14 and have had very few problems so far. But you should be careful when eating, because it can naturally happen that the wire can bend or even come off at one point. It will then either be remade or simply glued back on, after which you will have peace and quiet again. The cleaning effort is a little more, you need a special dental floss, but you can use it to clean the spaces between your teeth wonderfully, otherwise you can also use mouthwash. You don't really need a special toothbrush, but an electric one is recommended by most dentists anyway. Please seek advice from your local orthodontist beforehand. I hope I could perhaps be of some help to some of you. Of course, if you don't want that, you're not forced to.
Notably if you're gonna do this, WEAR IT CONSISTENTLY. Just wearing it for one night will only losen up your teeth and they'll shift right back. Doing this chronically for years will reduce the depth of your roots, permanently compromising your teeth. Ask me how I know 🙃
I wore my retainer every night or 2-3 years. Then I began to slowly ware off them, like wearing them once every 2 days, then so and so. Now i don’t wear them anymore, and my teeth are still perfectly straight after 3-4 years of not wearing them!
I was instructed to do this and that’s exactly what I did but they ended up moving anyway 😢
@@SophieElisellwood oh no! I know my teeth have shifted like the slightest bit but my teeth still are very straight. But I couldn’t wear the retainers again because they annoyed the heck out of me for them years wearing them at night
My friend said to me the other day, “I have a dentist appointment in a few weeks and I haven’t worn my retainer in five months,” and I immediately thought of all the dentists I watch on youtube and what their reactions would be.
This reminded me to start wearing my retainer again. 2 weeks straight and then nightly..got it
i only wore my retainers for a few months and 5 years later my teeth looks good they only shifted very little which am thankful for because my mom would of kicked my butt if my teeth were messed up again 😮💨
I just got braces on for the second time (20 years in-between) because i stopped wearing my retainer. Teeth moved back to same position as before I had braces the first time. Learn from my mistake people.
Bruh. U wasted money so much money. U shoulda just got fucking Invisalign’s..
usssss bruh
Mine never did u must got a horse mouth
I stopped wearing mine because it was just really too much effort to keep taking them out before I ate etc. My teeth moved a bit but it never returned to how they were prior to me getting braces.
Yes, its such an effort to take them out and on, dont be such a pussy. You have time to waste watching youtube videos but cant wear a retainer.... fucking hell
...You know that after just a month of wearing them full time you can just wear them only at night while you sleep right? And after just a couple more months you don't even have to wear them every night? If you stopped wearing them before even that point I fear for the future of your teeth and the thousands of dollars from whoever paid for your braces being wasted.

It’s unrealistic to have someone wear a retainer for the rest of their life. Some people take the gamble and hope they never shift back again😂
I was at work, and I met an really old retired lady, idk how the conversation sparked up but she said she had braces when she was in middle school, and she still wears her retainer every night to this day. So yea it’s realistic to wear a retainer for the rest of your life.

I had braces then a retainer on top and the permanent wire on bottom. Wore the retainer for about 2 years then stopped because I lost the damn thing. Luckily my teeth didn't really shift much at all, so teeth still look good. Also I have never broken that perm wire retainer and I have eaten apples and all kinds of hard things like ice with reckless abandon, still never broke the thing. Honestly it would feel weird if it wasn't there.
after 3 years of braces, 1 year of 24 hour retainer and 1 year of night retainer my orthodontist told me i didn't need to wear it anymore. I didn't believe him. So i continued for years until it broke. Well. 10+ years later the crowding is back, the over-bite is right back to square one. Had jaw alignment issues for years afterwards. Yeah. Thanks Doc.

@@Punterofchildreni should have not feliz for that
I don't understand why they have these retainers in the US. In the Netherlands when you get your braces removed you get a splint at the back of your teeth that will keep them in place and you don't have to mess around with any retainer
That's so lucky. Retainers and braces are so expensive only for it to be temporary. I didn't even have the option for the metal wires you mentioned😭
I'm grateful that i saw this video. I'm in my 3rd months having braces and as my orthodontists says that i am required to wear retainer after getting braces off. i thought retainer isn't that essential but now watching this video and reading your comments preparing me to be ready wearing it for the rest of my life knowing that my dad working hard for it and yes retainer is very expensive so i hope by that time i could get a work so i don't need to ask it from my dad as he already gave too much :(
I was SO bad with my retainers! I had the plastic ones with the silver metal line across the front of my teeth and when I wouldn’t wear them for months I had the same reaction. I thought it broke my damn teeth😂
Did your teeth shift back? I didn't wear my retainer for 5 months, my tooth has shifted a little, but i could put back the retainer easily again now, will it go back to normal? 😢
I’ve had my retainers for like 6 years and I wear them RELIGIOUSLY-the most I’ve gone w/o wearing them is like 4 or 5 days, but even then it was really bc I forgot them when my family took a road trip when I was in HS lmao
Occasionally I won’t put them in before bed if I’m tired as hell but it’s typically one or two nights every few months, not a regular thing at all lol
Though I mean…I wear them bc braces were expensive and I had so many issues I had to have them for like 3 years, but also I wear my retainers bc I clench my jaw at night so they help protect my teeth 😭 I’ve had two pairs of retainers bc after a year or two they start getting cracks in the molars 😭😭
May i ask if you're willing to answer.. when first having retainer, do we have to wear it all the time and take it off only when brushing our teeth and eat for two weeks? After that we can took it off and wear it only at night? This was from the video but Bentist talks too fast i cant understand it well :(

"Let's put her in" "She's leaking" it's a damn object
I started off wearing mine every night and then switched to every other night and then to 2 nights then skip a night then 2 nights again and so on. Making minor adjustments to my schedule every so often actually helped my teeth to where if I accidentally skip an extra day or 2 my teeth won't shift at all.
I've seen retainers in movies/shows and always thought they were a type of braces, but they are something you wear after braces to make sure your teeth dont move back?
I'm so happy I got a wire glued behind my front teeth after I had braces. You can only see it if you look very close and I never have to worry about a retainer or about cleaning it
What is it called? Like the one you have is it the semi permanent retainer?
actually you do have to clean it😭 isn't that one of the more difficult ones to clean? you have to floss more to avoid teeth damage
You still have to wear your retainers because you only have them on your front teeth lol. The rest of your teeth can still move.
This is why i feel a bit better with my retainers because missing a night or two then remembering them isn’t the end of the world
I only have one crooked thing on my teeth, but I don't need braces. I will definitely forget to put it on because I don't really take care of myself that much.

I felt that pain, it’s a type of pain only people who experienced can feel.
I stopped wearing my retainer 10 years ago and I still have nightmares all the time of my teeth being sore from it
My retainer didnt fit right the day they made them. And pinched my gums and they said they were fine and not to worry about it. So I never wore them, and now 4 years later my bottom teeth are crooked af again. My top teeth don't seem to have moved at all.
"It's still wet" " ooh it's leaking" oh hell nah💀
My retainer accidentally got trashed, I’m still upset about it. Couldn’t afford the couple hundred to get a new one. Thankfully my teeth haven’t shifted much at all, which is surprising to me since I had to wear braces for almost 4 years.
I learned this from the bentist, get a boil and bite one until you can get a new retainer .
Don't use it for too long because it can cause jaw issues!
Also, if it's not in your face, it's in the case. Please don't just fold it in a napkin again-
Currently just started wearing retainers! So uncomfy but better than wearing braces again! Lol
Thank you bro❤❤

@@pinkwakabeagle Yeah if you don’t practice proper dental hygiene. Flossing and brushing is important. It’s no different than the rest of the mouth, you just have to take time to thread the floss through each part.

I need braces so bad but unfortunately i can't afford them at the moment 😔 also i didn't know you needed to wear these after taking your braces off just to keep them straight 🥴
Hopefully I'll be able to get braces on day and rest assure after I get them taken off, I'll be wearing retainers for the rest of my natural life lol
@@LupitaSin21 yup, you need to wear them for life basically
Honestly. I have had braces and I wear my retainer every single night. It costs so much to make your teeth so nice and people just decide to stop wearing their retainers. That’s a waste of about ten grand.
I actually didn’t know your teeth would go straight again if you put your retainer back in I figured the retainer would just move. This was helpful thank you!
I had some seriously messed up teeth. Braces fixed them like 95%. I don't know if it's just me but retainers made my mouth smell so bad. So I said fuck it and stopped using them. My teeth shifted back but not too much. Still looks much better than pre-braces.
Dawg if your mouth smells bad because of retainers then you don’t wash them at all probably
You have to wash them. I clean them regularly and rinse them daily.
I suffered the same smell but after flossing and using an anti cavity mouth was ONLY 2 times for the first day made it disappear. also I didn’t clean my teeth really good when I had braces so when it was removed my gum was inflated. believe me all you need is to have good cleaning supplies and never. skip. brushing.
This guy has so much energy and talks so fast its a wonder HIS TEETH haven't fallen out!
I’m thankful I only had upper retainers (clear and plastic+metal) and went from all the time, to just night, and then no more when I had the permanent wires on the back added. I hated the clear since it got nasty so fast 😭
I had braces about 30 years ago, and only wore my retainer for a few months and stopped. I honestly can't tell you why, I was 14 and stupid. My bottom teeth have a tiny gap in the front but other than that they didn't shift much at all. My teeth are very tight though, so that might be why I got lucky.
I feel so good that there's an entire community that knows my pain! Atleast I'm not alone!!
When she started shaking I just felt that in my own teeth so hard 😅
I kept sleep grinding to the point I just kept ruining all my retainers as a teen. My mom couldn’t keep up with that financially so my top teeth look great but my bottoms have shifted unfortunately.
i forgot to wear my retainer over the summer holidays and came back to school with a tooth directly in the middle of my face like tom cruise
Me who just got my retainer after a week of not having one: I can relate to this on a personal level.
His gasp of fear in all his videos gets me every time 😂
I didn’t wear mine for 7 years. Found them at my mom’s house and washed them and put them in. It hurt for a few days but not terribly. Then it was fine
How did you wash them. I found mine also 10 years after wearing braces. They kinda fit, but are extremely dirty… Since I only rinsed them back then.
@@A93-qg9xj I always washed them previously and then had them in the safe in a dry case so it wasn’t terribly dirty. I used an electric toothbrush and washed with dawn soap, then toothpaste, then I let it sit in mouthwash for like ten minutes and rinsed it off.
People who gets these should be first thing reminded that it freaking hurts if you stop wearing them. I didnt for like a week and damn the pressure was intense
im so done with the freaking "lets appreciate" comments, like dude, we know youre clout chasing and its annoying
I'm a pediatric dentist. My business partner is an orthodontist. Wear your retainer for EVER if you don't want your teeth to shift. It has nothing to do with wisdom teeth
there’s people who stop using them and their teeth don’t switch, same goes for me. i lost mine and my teeth hasnt shifted ever since like half a year ago
@viridian1263 they don't shift for the first year and a half and then BOOM!! Next thing you know they are calling you "snaggletooth" behind your back.
But seriously, like everything relating to people, it's a matter of probability. You're the lucky one- your teeth didn't shift and maybe won't. But most people's teeth will shift if they don't wear a retainer always and forever (as the old roller skating 'for couples only' song goes)
All day or just night ?
@@martina1069 for some portion of the day. It doesn’t have to be 24/7. Most do overnight
I recently removed my braces and my retainer was well fitted intially but after 2 days it become loose😢 do I need to replace it? For replacing the retainer should i need to pay again?
I’m going to be on a retainer soon. Went to the dentist and they said my teeth weren’t too far from perfect. So I hope I can remember to wear them 22/7
Took me 8 years to convince my mom to let me get braces. However, I cannot afford it at the moment. Gonna save for them. If your parents are spending money on this please do not, I repeat do not forget to follow the instructions.
I hope u can afford them now or later
I wore braces for half of my entire childhood and all I have to gain from it is an irrational hatred of anyone in the dentistry and orthodontic fields. What absolute perfectionist freaks
right??? my teeth have shifted back a bit after 10+ years of not wearing a retainer, but not back to how they originally were. So they are straight, just not "hollywood straight" or like super perfect chiclet looking... and i like the way that looks, i prefer that much more than shoving something in my mouth anytime i have to sleep
Fr. My bottom teeth have shifted a bit and they aren't straight across the top but I actually like them this way. After I got braces my jaw wouldn't fit right and wouldn't feel great when I ate. I never even really wanted them in the first place
Havent worn my retainer in 5 years and the only thing that kinda came back was my overbite, but it’s minimal compared to before braces
I went and found it just now - gonna try to be more diligent!
Living like this is so miserable. I hate wearing my retainer 😞 I can only wear mine at night otherwise I’ll end up chewing them off. I had to get a new retainer within only 2 months of wearing the “final” retainer because I can’t avoid grinding my teeth with them on. It’s so uncomfortable for me. It’s sad to know this is something to deal with for a lifetime unless I choose to say f it and let my teeth get crooked. So I can feel this girls pain, I would do the same if this wasn’t such a huge investment. 🤦🏻♀️ uhhh. I think personally if I waited a couple of months I wouldn’t be so lucky. My teeth shift throughout the day by the time it’s bedtime my bottom teeth are a bit wonky. The straightness of my bottom teeth only last an hour or two when I remove the retainer.
Can't you have a permanent retainer at least in the bottom teeth? That's what I have. It's basically a wire glued to the inner face of your teeth. You don't need to remove it and hardly notice it after a few days.
@@yos.5684 I’ve thought about getting that but then I saw a video where someone had a lot of build up on them. In your opinion do you think it’s difficult to keep them clean?
@@777violett No, it's not difficult, I've got them and there might be the odd piece of food stuck now and again, but if you brush your teeth almost after every meal you should be fine. There are water irrigators that are supposed to work very well but if you don't wanna spend money on that, just washing your mouth with water strongly does the job. If I ever have something really stuck I take a pin and gently push it. But it seldom happens! I've had them for two years already and it's clean :)
When she put the top one in “oohhoohoo” lol 😂
I'm so happy I never had braces, I'd forget to have my retainer in all the time
Same thing happened to me, I wore my retainers for 3-4 years as my orthodontist said and after that they told me to stop wearing them completely. So it’s been a year now since the last time I wore them and I tried putting them back on bc my teeth have shifted so much, but it hurts like hell. Idk what to do, but I’ll keep wearing them I just hope it won’t damage my teeth now. 😂😂
I can't even be without my retainers for couple of hours, the uncomfortable feeling without them on is unreal...
I just got my braces taken off and was given retainers 3 days ago, and I swear, I am gonna wear them every night, not to be like that girl
you’ve got this
good luck. the temptation is hard.
For how long should we wear it?
@@AS-nx9fu every day for the rest of your life, but deadass after 10 years you should be good
@takae unfortunately (as a late update) despite wearing them every night they stopped to fit where at some point it got too uncomfortable and painful putting them on so i just stopped wearing them - that however caused my teeth to slowly return back to their original crooked positions
Current results? I am wearing braces *again*
It's most likely my fault here, but I'll go through it and just retry, I'll be fine
I have a hard time remembering to put it in but only one of my teeth shift when I take it out. I always used to say “you can take it out pretty much as long as you’d like you just have to have a good pain tolerance.” And it’s true.
I really feel lucky that I got my braces and retainers for free
