missing tooth
15/f. i'm missing a tooth. it is the one right next to my front teeth on my right side. i just got my braces off today so on my retainer the orthodontist attached a fake tooth so that when i wear my retainer it looks like i'm not missing a tooth. but what do i do when i eat lunch? is it bad to eat with a retainer in?
also is it weird to kiss with a retainer in? because i'd be too embarrassed to take it out.
thanks =]

I have a retainer and i am fine with it. I would fixodent and put it on your retainer so you can eat food without it coming off. I dont use the fixodent anymore cuz i dont want to but it is so nice to have because otherwise you will be playing with it and it wont be doing what it needs to do. And dont take it out at night because then your retainer will fit weird but will straighten out your teeth again. Its fine for kissing as long as you use the fixodent.

Yes it is perfectly safe for retainers i used to use it and it didnt do anything wrong to the retainer. and it is not expensive. It is normally used for dentures to keep them in place.

I would advise that you take your retainers out before you eat and before you are about to kiss someone. You shouldnt be embarrased about taking them out because may other people have them too and just think of them as a fasion accessorie and that they are going to help your teeth become perfect! sooo eventually you will thank yourself for sticking to them and wearing them. You will get use to them and so will other people. I had retainers for 8 months and i totally forgot they were there half the time.
so dont worry and totally dont be embarressed.
Hope it helps Porsche xxx

Retainers arent that bad...You have to take them off when you eat and i suggest you also take it off when you are about to kiss someone. I hav had retainers. They may feel bad now, but you will get used to them in like a week...Dont be embarrased to take them off, if anyone makes any remarks just tell them "Wait until my teeth are perfect, you are gonna envy me!!!" After all, almost everyone has gona through that and dont mind!
Hope I helped!!!
