  1. When you arrive at the place and see the orthodontist.

    Look at her and be like..

    Ahhh shooot (hold your head). I think I'll need to go back, because I forgot my retainer. I took it off because I had a Basketball game yesterday and it wasn't safe to keep the retainer on. Should I go back or is it alright if I don't have it?


  2. If you have a sibling, tell the ortho that ur sibling stole it. If you have a pet, tell them that it swallowed your retainer.

  3. hmm....HMM>

    i have no idea

    i say rap it in a napkin and thow it away

    thats what i would say

    i knew a girl who sat on hers and broke it in half. BYE BYE TO THAT ONE!

  4. wow umn tell the oarent that is nicer to you and break it to them slowly and loose/lie about loosing a purse with the retainer in it or tell em you had a purse with the retainer in it and some1 stole it =]] a purse wit your retainer in it

  5. tell her u ran into a burning old folks home to save someones granny and it fell out

  6. someone else accidentaly threw it away

  7. don't lie say the truth and start being responsible.

  8. It fell out of your mouth when you got in a fight

  9. Just go get a new one, but don't wait too long because you're supposed to be wearing it. or say your dog chewed on it

  10. just tell her u forgot again...or try asking ur friend if she saw it and keep stalling until u find it!! my brother did the same thing like 4 times...he just left it in a napkin and ppl threw it away!!

  11. uh the most common one is that you wrapped it in a napkin when you were eating and then you accidentally threw it away...

  12. Generally I've found honesty will set you free. Stop lying and face the truth.

  13. you were at the mall, on the top floor, leaning over a railing (looking down) and you had your mouth open and it fell out? idk that's all i could think of, best of luck with that :)

  14. Instead of trying to think up a believable lie, how about telling the truth and taking responsibility for your careless attitude?  The retainers cost money, obviously that doesn't mean anything to you because you've not had to pay for them - time to grow up and start acting like you deserve the privileges you have.  Call your friend and ask to make arrangements to get your retainer back.

  15. Might the retainer still be at the location where the party was?  If the party was in a field or something, probably not.  But if it was at a house, maybe it's still there.

    The best excuse I saw among the Answers was "I wrapped it in a napkin while I was eating (at McDonalds, at Taco Bell, at school) and accidentally thew it away."

  16. Tell them that your dog got ahold of it.

    It happens all the time.

    we even tell our patients to keep retainers away from dogs.

    It will work, trust me.

  17. Uhhmm I think that the best thing to do would be to tell the truth. Just say that you lost it. That way, your teeth won't get messed up &you can get a new one.

  18. If you have a dog, you could say that you took it out to eat something and the dog ate it lol.I had braces for like a year and I think the retainer was more annoying than the braces.I'm pretty bad about losing stuff but my parents are pretty gullible.

    Another good excuse is that you were eating and accidentally threw it away.That's pretty common.

    You could even try telling the truth!lol

  19. hahahhaahhahahahahahahahhaahahahahhaaha

    check me out on youtube. search mojo2400cll

  20. why dont you just tell the truth?

  21. well...have you tried calling your friend and asker her if she has it?

  22. Tell her it melted when you left it next to your straightener, curling iron, etc.

  23. just say you put it down somewhere and can't remember where it is.

    or you could just say you lost it. simple....

  24. tell her your mom accidentally threw it away when you left ot on your dinner plate. it totally wasn't your fault!

    it worked for me:D

    p.s. make sure they don't talk to your mom about it!

  25. tell her you lost it... you need a new one... or just say that it is at home again... you could be a verry forgetfull person...

  26. Your mother isn't going to believe you anyway. You've already burnt that bridge, just try honesty for once.

  27. On rollercoaster/funfair ride and:

    *you bit down too tight crushing it...

    *It fell out on it...

    It dropped while cleaning it and it was stood on.

    You got really high and though it was a crab.

    Your dog used it as a chew toy...

    Be a man and tell the truth,then knock out the orthodontist and steal her shoes!

  28. You put it on a horse as a joke and it ran away.

  29. You need to stop making excuses and own up to it. Why did you even left the retainer at a friend's party in the first place? You're only going to make it worst by lying to your mom and the orthondist because sooner or later you'll run out of excuses and get caught.

    Come clean. That's the best way out of this situation. Granted, your mom will be upset. She will have to pay for another retainer for you, OR you can own up to it and tell her that you'll pay her back for the retainer when you get a job. Good luck.

  30. Haha! That's funny!! Say that you had it in and you stuck your head out the window to feel the breeze go through your hair and it flew out, and then the car behind you guys ran it over, oh and then it went in the gutter and you saw a rat run away with it!!... Or you can just tell them the truth... I mean what is the worse that they can do?...

  31. first , go get it

    then say you put it somewhere but its not there or it fell down teh drain or something stupid i d k

    hope this helps
