Answer 4

You need to tell your mom so she can take you back to get new ones. You wont have to get braces again... unless you wait too long. Thats what happened to me! I got my retainers and after about 2 weeks, my molar teeth started coming in, so I didn't wear them, because they wouldn't fit around my back teeth. In result, my bottom teeth are worse than they were before! And all I had to do is go back to the dentist and have him fit them to the 2nd teeth from the back and I wouldn't have crooked teeth... AGAIN! Just tell your mom or dad that maybe you left them on your tray at McDonalds and accidentally threw them away. If you are afraid of getting in trouble. But make sure you get some more made as soon as you possibly can!!!

I HOPE I HELPED =D ANY MORE QUESTIONS JUST EMAIL ME

Answer 6

Don't worry.  They always tell you that you must wear your retainers for the rest of your lives or else your teeth will shift back.  It's a lie.  I had braces when I was a teen and only wore my retainers for a few months before I got tired of them.  Did my teeth shift?  Yes, but only a little, and it's not noticeable.  

Tell your parents you lost your retainers.  They'll call your ortho and schedule an appointment to get another set made.  Don't lose the second set.

Answer 7

don't cry, this is an easy problem to fix. you won't get braces again, unless your orthodontist seriously believes that is the only possible fix. and  it really isn't. i've had my braces off for about two and a half years and i've been through three sets of retainors. once because i lost one. (oops...) and then again because the old ones weren't working to seep my teeth straight; they simply take another impression. you get new ones. problem solved : )

tell your mom or dad if you haven't yet and they'll probably happily take you to get a new retainor. b/c remember, the longer you wait, the more out of line your teeth will get. and trust me, your parents don't want you to get braces back on any more than you do. lol you know...$$$.

good luck ; )

Answer 8

You need to go back to your orthodontist and get a new retainer. It is very unlikely you will need to get braces again if you get a retainer soon. If your teeth have shifted slightly then your orthodontist can usually align them again with a retainer.
