I had braces for 18 months in high school. I cringe when I see pictures. The day I got them off was one of the greatest feelings of freedom! But there was a catch... I had to wear a retainer 24 hours a day for a month and then every night for the rest of my life. Well, I did wear it 24 hours a day for a month and then I started wearing it every night for awhile but gradually it decreased to every other night and then one night a week until finally I never wore it. I lost it for quite some time but during one of my moves I found it. I didn't really think anything of it (good thing I didn't throw it out) It doesn't fit anymore and I have been trying to notice if my teeth have moved at all. I know my bottom teeth have moved a little but I can't really notice any movement in my top teeth. I met a girl who had braces for the second time. THE SECOND TIME. I panicked. There is no way I am getting braces again. Its so much time and money and I think I already have a pretty good smile. I just don't want them to move any more. Some dentists say they could move back to where they were and others say its been so long since I've worn a retainer that they probably won't move that much more. I don't really know who to believe but I swear now I can feel them moving little by little.
I need to go to the dentist soon anyway so Ill ask him how much it would be to get another retainer.
