I have been wearing them for about a month, and am supposed to wear them every night, but i forget some nights. I just went the whole weekend (camping) without retainers. I put them on and 5 mins later my teeth feel like cramping or somthing. I swear i can take Pain, like a stab in the leg with a knife, but these small things like mosquito bites and retainer cramps really flippin bug me....

I hate having to wear a retainer. After wearing braces for 2 years its just not fair that we have to wear retainters for the rest of our lives to keep our teeth in place. My bottom retainer broke so I stopped wearing it for about a month. My bottom teeth shifted and started getting crooked and I was grinding my teeth at night wearing them down which is pretty much the reason I got braces to begin with. So a few nights ago I decided to try wearing it to bed at night even though it was broken. It worked somehow. All my teeth moved back in the correct line but wow are my teeth sore after wearing it to bed each night. I have an appointment tomorrow to get a new retainer made.
