Answer 1

Answer 2

dont eat, dont go to school. either will work

Answer 3

if they say something like gross, tell them 2 suck it up. it's not that gross.

Answer 4

You're beautiful in every way, what ever you have, people's opinion won't make your teeth better aligned. Just don't pay attention to what they say..

Answer 5

before lunch, wash your hands in the bathroom and take them off in there so you won't have to show anyone and so you can keep them clean, a good time to rinse them.  

Answer 6

you could be slick and use your tongue to pull them out and the grab them with a napkin (like the polite way to spit out food) and put them somewhere you'll remember to pick them back up.

And depending on what you eat you can usually just keep them in. After you get the hang of wearing them it's easy, just make sure you know how before accidentally swallowing your retainer. Haha.

Answer 7

Believe me, half the lunch crowd will be doing the same thing!

Answer 8

Well before your meals just go into the restroom and take them out and then when u finish go back to the restroom and put them back in.

Answer 9

take it out in the bathroom

Answer 10

This is very, very simple.  Just leave your retainer case in your locker, and then stop by your locker and take out your retainer before you go to the cafeteria.  No grossing everyone out, and more importantly, absolutely no chance of accidentally throwing it out!  That's what I did when I had a retainer, and it worked perfectly!

Answer 11

Walk through the rest room and take them out there. Put them in a little case and then pop them back in.

Answer 12

just dont wear them to school and put them in when you get home and when you sleep. thats what i do, and my teeth are still really straight

Answer 13

Heres the trick.  Turn to the side like you would if you were sneezing or if you had to blow your nose.  Put your hand up so that it covers your mouth and loosen your retainers with your tongue.  Slip the retainers out of your mouth into your hand as quickly as possible and put your hand down in your lap. Then you can do what you want with your retainers.  It also works with a napkin but you have to be very careful if you wrap them in a napkin that they don't get thrown away by accident.  Good luck! Some people might notice but they'll just have to deal with it!

Answer 14

goto the washroom and take it out, while ur there have a toothbrush with you and clean it a bit so it doesnt get stinky from your siliva

and then just put it in after

if they say its gross tell them to suck it up..because they might have one, one day.

Answer 15

I have never had retainers.  Can you go into the restroom before lunch and take them out.  Put them in the case that the doctor gave u.  After lunch put them back in.  This will keep them squeaky clean too:)

Answer 16

My friend was like this and this is how we helped her

We all went to the toilet with her at dinner and she took it out and put it in the box

All done

Then at the end we go back to the toilet and she rinses it and puts it back it

Don't worry about it, its not that bad! I have elastic bands on my braces that i have to take at at lunch too, you just sort of have to get on with it
