Guest aznsweetie143 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 just tell your mom to buy you a new one, or she'll have to get you braces again. I'm pretty sure after that, she'll rush to get the retainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xxsarahhoangerz Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I think you should tell your mom to get you another one, because although your teeth won't move back dramatically. It WILL move over time and then it wont be all that straight. Same thing happened to my sister, except she just didnt wear hers, and its crooked, not like before, but just like not too straight.

Guest ehytee7 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 i lost my retainers thrice i think bec i'm such a clumsy person.. anyway i hated the 4th retainer that my dentist gave me.. so i barely wear them.. and when i migrated i intentionally left them at home.. haha.. but know.. one of my lower tooth slightly overlapped the other.. and it didn't look good since my entire teeth were okay except for that one.. so i'm considering of getting braces on the lower part of my mouth if my retainers wouldn't work.. i asked my dad to bring them here when he visits us this month. so i guess.. get a new one before it messes up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CLOUD:7 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 You should get a new one. Why won't your mom buy you another one, anyway? =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ang2essence Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 yea ok she wont buy me another one cuz shes all mad this is my 3rd one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aznsweetie143 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 ...basically, if you don't wear your retainer, the work the braces did will become undone. The ONLY THING you can do is get another retainer. Or live with crooked teeth forever, meaning you waster so much money on braces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xblueswirlsx Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 yup it'll move back.. but gradually Then you have to do the braces process again. i think? Well getting a retainer is cheaper than getting braces again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EauDeAnnie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 You should get another one. If you don't wear it, your teeth will go back to the way it used to or at least not straight and then you'll have to get braces again to make them straight. That's what happened to my friend. >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ang2essence Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 i already used it for 6 months i was kinda hoping that ur teeth stop moving after a while and when can you stop wearing it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xpiyo Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 ^^ i don't think wearing for 6 months is all right. i've been wearing retainers for like 3 years and i just recently went to the dentist and he said my teeths are moving a little and i need to bring the retainer back to tighten it. anyways, go get anothe retainer! i know 2 people who didn't wear their retainers and they had to get braces AGAIN. i don't think you or your mom would want that. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest predator Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 get another one tell your mom that if she doesn't get you one then all that money for braces is wasted =] & be careful next time. don't throw them away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplicity_x Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I think you need to wear it for the rest of your life (that is...if you want to ) I've had my retainers for about four years or so...and I recently just put them on and I realized that some of my teeth are moving back to its original places. Gosh, it creeped my out soo much I started using it again. But I highly advise you to get new retainers...because if your teeth get messed up again, you're going to be spending a lot more money on braces that you already had long ago. I hope you get it replaced soon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *sarah Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 6 months is too short... Well it seems like you lost your retainers during the day? After 2 months of wearing my retainers, I wear them only at night when I sleep ... so I don't lose them XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Malice_Kaiser Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 It's gonna cost less to get a new retainer now than to have to get braces again later... << Just tell her that. Though I haven't worn my retainer in a long time. X___X; So far no movement, but maybe I should make a habit of wearing it. T_T; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lovejyk Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I can understand how your mother probably isn't really itching to get you a new retainer... but I hope she knows that without your retainer, your teeth will start moving and getting crooked on it's own again.

Guest akira53 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 just tell your mom to buy you a new one, or she'll have to get you braces again. I'm pretty sure after that, she'll rush to get the retainer. exactly....your teeth won't change like overnight but within a few months they'll have moved around a lot...especially if you have missing teeth.

Guest Dazzle and Destroy Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 if she doesn't get you a new one, all your effort in getting your teeth straight will go to waste! XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sugar_puff <3 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 lol that's how my sister lost hers and I almost did that too haha It's best to get another one... it does shift... and 6 months is nothing.. u need to be wearing it for years... or forever lol The shift depends on people's teeth and the way it grows and such... both my sister and I dont wear our retainers anymore... but mine hasn'y changed dramtically... my sister's teeth shifted more than mine.. so yea... im considered lucky lol.. i try wearing my retainer but it wont fit anymore =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dbsk_star Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Lol i think almost everyone has experienced this my brother lost his retainer, and then after a month he got a new one and he said it hurt a lot putting it back on because his teeth moved a bit so you should def. get a new one or you might need braces again!
