Its great to hear that most people agree that its possible to change to a clear retainer pretty soon after the piercing, and that it doesn´t hurt too much -not really that much of an issue for me, but good anyway and that scarring can basically be avoided. Good. Just gotta get a job where they won´t fire me and get some balls to get it done!
I mean it´s not a life-changing thing (hopefully)
My overactive imagination just thinks about what happens if they hit a nerve or it paralyses your face or wrecks your vermillion border (lip edge) or I get massive scar tissue or keloids (but haven´t had them for any other piercing, so thats a good sign I hope) or they ruin your face in another way… but really if I go to a good place they should be able to avoid that right?! My mouth is probably the best feature of my face and I still worry a little
