I go to an orthodontist but I don’t have any thing like braces or a retainer. I had teeth removed when I was eight because they were shifting and the dentist said I would probably end up needing braces so I got them removed. I also had on of my back teeth removed because half the tooth was chipped of. I am nearly thirteen and I still have to go there every three months until all of my baby teeth come out so they can make sure it won’t move anymore. My mum had the same thing happen to her and she had braces from fourth grade to ninth grade then a retainer for two years. She also had rubber bands since she had a very bad overbite.

I wore my retainer, my orthodontist also didn’t give a fuck when the braces started to rip into my cheek. (It was a rubber band bracket holder, near the back of my mouth, the cut up area is and was VERY visible, and bleeding. I never had that problem before, I brushed normally as well.) When I got my retainer I would wear it at night, that’s what they suggested, then one of our dogs got ahold of it cause it was in my room opened, I was about to put it on but I had to go help my mom, and they ripped it up on one side. Never was able to get a new one. Also, no foods have ever ripped into my cheek like that, my mom was a nurse (she’s retired now) and confirmed it was the back braces that were causing it. Edit- They also cut it weirdly, and it ripped into my gums, pushing them up when I wore them, cutting them everywhere.
