What advice do people have for people who get their braces off?

So I just got most of my braces off. I still have the top six on, but I’m getting them off in two weeks. I’ll also be getting my retainer. I was just wondering what advice people had for people who are getting/got their braces off. Any help?

Answer #1

retainers are VERY important… DON’T LOSE THEM!!! ~o.0~

Answer #2

umm wear your retainers, I stoped wearing mines and my teeth spaced out again -_- not as bad as before but I got some gaps… oh and try not 2 lose retainers I lost mines twice and there bout 500$ for new ones.

Answer #3

Definitely do what spankthatfish said and wear the retainers if you get them. I know people who went through all the trouble of braces and then didn’t bother with the retainers – their teeth went back to looking like crap.

Also, if you get retainers DON’T put them in napkins if you go out to eat. Keep them in your case. I lost two sets putting them in napkins, forgetting them, and then digging through restaurant garbage. (true story)

Lastly, right after you get them off, make sure you have a dentist appointment ready. Your teeth might be full of that concrete-type crap on the outside also could be colored differently under where the braces were.

Best of luck!
