Ahh, the feeling of losing the braces. Truly a special moment, especially because of the foods you can now eat. I suggest you celebrate by chewing a pack of gun, and by going out for a steak dinner :D

And trust me, the retainer is not a very big deal at all compared to braces. It's removable at least.

And do follow Duke's advice, floss. I have never been able to get myself into the habit, and everytime I visit the dentist's, my gums are very sore due to the cleaning they give.

Erm, yeah, the braces didn't stop me from basically eating whatever the hell I wanted, believe me.
 
I should probably get braces, but then my teeth wouldn't match my otherwise horrendously obscured face.
Where's the fun in that?

I'll wait for the Invisaligns.
Kosmik Par-tay!
 
WEAR THAT RETAINER! Don't ever take it out because you think you look stupid or because it affects how you talk. I wore mine religiously until the bottom one cracked and it was too much money to get it replaced so my orthodontist said it was fine to wear like it was. I was lucky this was long enough after I got my braces off because my bottom front teeth started to drift ever so gradually and ever so slightly. You can't tell now, because they were able to be re-straightened without getting braces put back on (Thank the Lord!).

And in a few years when your smile is winning over the hearts of everyone you meet, you'll be passing on this same advice to someone else.
 
Has anyone ever had 'twisting fibres'. They are in you gums and if you teeth were really twisted (mine were) before you got your braces they can pull your teeth back to how they were when your braces come out.
In order to get rid of tehm it involves lots of local anaethetic and a scalpal cutting INTO your gums. Doesn't hurt much (local anaesthetic) but bloody bleeds alot!
 
I got my friggen retainer today (invisalign) and I hate them. I will probably only wear hem occasionally. They make me gag and they taste funny...
 
Yeah, I'm wearing my retainer every night and most of the day, except when I have to go out or be in a situation where talking a lot will be involved. I was almost going to wear it when I went out with my girlfriend just to piss her off, but that'd be a loss of cards now wouldn't it?
 
I'm wearing uhh...plates is what we call them here now. I might be getting braces soon, but I don't really care if my teeth are 100% straight, as long as they work properly I'm fine.
