about

I am 48 years old (yes that's old compared to some of you).


I have worked in nursing and/or healthcare management positions for 24 years. Primarily OB, Neonatal, Mental Health, Occupational Health and Geriatrics. In Jan 2008 I started my own business to board horses and do equine/human education. I am also a certified dog trainer.


I've been around the block so to speak and seem to be always helping others. I've been told that the reason people seek me out for advice is that I am approachable and caring. But on the same token even though I consider the person's feelings. I tell it like I see it. I've dealt with people in trouble with the law, dysfunctional families such as those with abuse & marriage problems. Not to mention problems with employees and employers.


I don't ever claim to know it all, and always keep an open mind.

advice

I just got my braces off and got a retainer yesterday i forgot the case and put it in my bag with my gym clothes so i didnt think anything would happen to it.(but i was wrong.) So i go 2 put it in at night and the front wire is all croked. So i was able to bend it back so it looks normal now its just a little tight. I'm just afaid it going to bend my teeth in way i don't want it to cuz i might have bent it back wrong. Should i tell my mom (even though she'll get really mad) and go 2 the ortho asap or just wear it @ nite and tell him next app. in likke 4 weeks??? thanks for the help!!! i need it!!

Go back to the orthodontist and have him adjust the retainer. Yes...you might actually ruin your teeth if it is too tight in the wrong place. Don't wait for 4 weeks.
