I had braces and now they are off.Yay! Buuuuuuuuuuut I have some issues:
-How to put the retainer on right?I keep feeling I am doing it wrong.I know how to take it off but I am not that sure about getting it on so I am afraid I might accidently break it :(If you know any videos or pictures that show how exactly to do it right it would be really helpful :)
-My ortho didn't give me a box so I am looking to buy one online and I want really colorful happy one :) If you know any websites please share!

Hi, hotmegan Welcome to myLot!
Congrats on getting your braces taken off too!
When I had my braces removed, I had to wear retainers. When I put them on, I made sure that the plastic bracket matched up to my teeth. I slipped the retainer on and slid them on perfectly to match up with my teeth. You will know when you have them on right. They will feel like they are in place. And if you have them on upside down, it will feel much tighter. I don't know of any websites that will show you the correct way of putting your retainers on. You can also try checking with your dentist on the proper way to put on your retainers. Good Luck.
