Tell her to wear her retainer, it is for the best. A few of mii friends have retainers, and they really are not that bad. Good luck!

Karen answered Wednesday October 6 2004, 8:05 pm: Hey, I got my braces on in 5th grade and then got them taken off a year and a half later in 6th grade. Trust me, your friends teeth will move back and it sucks!! Maybe the reason why she doesn't wanna wear her retainer is because she sounds like a retard talking? I'm not calling your friend a retard it's just that the first few weeks of getting your retainer, you cannot pronounce "S's" correctly and you talk retardly lol. Ok, here's a little short story of what happened to me lol. My retainer broke like that metal piece that goes under your tooth to hold the retainer in place and now all the teeth on my left side of my mouth, your right, is messed up and my orthodontist said he would fix it but now he can't. My parents spent over $5,000 all together and now it all went down the drain. I just have to wear my retainer to bed until January of 2005. Ok, just tell your friend that she has to wear her retainer or she's gonna end up like me later in life. Hope I helped, sorry if I got carried away, telling my story about my braces/retainer life lol!! :) [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]

I got them in 3rd to 6th and then I got them on again, but Im getting them off in a week or two and then a retainer for 3 months. Im glad to get them off!

GC_rox_my_sox answered Wednesday October 6 2004, 7:11 pm: I have braces, and the goal of having braces is to get your teeth to a 90 to 95 degree angle. As long as your friend doesn't suck her thumb or something like that, she won't need them again. Not to mention that braces cost about $3000, and I don't think her parents would want to pay all that again just to fix some minor problems that would come from not wearing a retainer.
