THIS accursed thing happened last Thursday!
If you knew me from the ages 11-17, this looks perfectly normal to you, since I already spent those years as a "metal mouth."
Quick Explanation: When my wisdom teeth came in, I could no longer wear my retainer (which I have faithfully worn nightly for 9 years!) I put off going to the orthodontist because we kept moving :) and at my most recent dentist appointment, my permanent bottom retainer got popped off. It had a pretty good run though...10 years isn't too bad. So, I decided to "grit my teeth" and go to the orthodontist. It wasn't pretty, people. He told me that this was the "most frustrating orthodontic relapse" a person can have. No kidding? I told him that he was breaking my heart. It was really pitiful!
Bottom line: I've got a full mouth of braces for 4-6 more months of my life, I look like a teenager, and I'm sick of eating soup!
Sidenote: One of my students asked if I got them to keep my teeth warm...how funny?!?!
