Retainer after taking off braces?
Ok so I am going to have my braces off soon. Can anyone tell me what wearing a retainer is like? Do you have any tips to makes it the best possible experience?
Thank you!

Usually you have to wear it 24/7 at first and absolutely do not take your retainer off in front of everyone else when you take it off to eat. PLEASE. I made the mistake of doing this in high school, and it is just so unattractive and disgusting. I stopped after I witnessed somebody else do it. Spit and disgustingness comes out and just excuse yourself to the bathroom when you have to eat in order to take it out, ok?
Wearing a retainer is not a bad deal and it's worth it. I know people that thought they were too cool to wear it and literally are getting braces next month once again because their teeth shifted.
Clean it often and get a color that isn't noticeable when you laugh or talk. I got royal blue and I have no idea what I was thinking because now you can see a big slab of blue whenever I open my mouth. Or just get the clear one altogether.

which retainer are you getting? i have the clear one that looks like invisilign. its really not that bad, when you first put it in it might feel a little tight but no pain or discomfort or anything. its annoying to keep taking out and putting back in but its soo much better than braces. wear it or else your teeth will shift and all the money on braces will be wasted. there's not much to it.
