dreams about your teeth going back to the way they were before braces??
Before I got braces I always had dreams about my teeth falling out. In a dream book it said it was because I was experiencing a lack of self confidence in my appearance. So ever since I got braces I never had those dreams again. However since receiving news that I'm getting them off in a few weeks I've had dreams that I get them off and even though I am wearing my retainer I wake up and my teeth are all crooked again!! It's normal right? lol - maybe it just means I have anxiety issues over losing my wittle brackets
Sentenced: 20-24 months

21 months in braces, 17 months in elastic, NO regrets!! Now in Hawley retainers!!
I have been dreaming of my brackets falling off already and somehow a tooth degenerate to a very brittle baby sized tooth...it doesn't compare to waking up and having your skin "imprinted" by the brackets. It's a discomforting feeling.
