wear my retainer

Hey that’s a start right? My teeth were quite sore afterward. I think it really does mean that my once perfect, post braces teeth have shifted. Need to wear every night for three months then I can go back to the ortho and ask for a wire at the back to hold them in place permanently like my bottom teeth.

On my top teeth (at the back) like I have on my bottom teeth so that I can be free of my retainer. BUT the only way to achieve this is to actually wear the retainer solidly for about three months at night. I can do this, I just need to remember so from now on the retasiner case is going to live on my bedside table (as daggy as that is!) – afterall it is only three months!

Short of putting it on my pillow to remind me before bed … I’m not sure how ese to remind myself??

So the retainer goes in TONIGHT. I see the ortho in about 5 weeks and my aim is to have worn it EVERY SINGLE NIGHT so that I can be fitted for a permanent wire.

Sigh …. was a bit drunk so hence no retainer. It’s funny but most of my 43 things could be achieved if I stopped getting drunk. Well maybe not the pot plant watering.

Well, this going to bed sober thing is helping with my other goals!

I popped my plate in last night, and so in 6 weeks time when I visit the dentist I can hopefully get the permanent wire I have been putting off for 2 years! It’ll be a plain wire at the back of my top teeth (I have one already on the bottom) and all I need to do is wear my plate for a while tpo fully align my teeth so I’m happy with them pre wire.

I am 28 so I think it’s high time I did this! (got my braces originally at 14!!).
