If you have finished with your orthodontic treatment and are wearing retainers (or will be soon), this is a special place to connect with others in your (enviable) situation. Ask a question or make a comment about life post-braces.

After 8 years of braces, I got very good at "sucking" any debris out of them after eating. It was never really an issue for me. If I had the chance to brush, even better.
Making an "S" or "CH" sound is so difficult with retainers. I've been practicing "Sally sells seashells..." when I'm alone to see if I can figure it out.
I just got my braces off last week, got my retainer today!
And I can easily say that braces are much much much much much BETTER!!!!
The retainer is really getting on my nerves, it hurts, it's bad speech and u notice its there all the time!!!!!!!
