Remembering to put the retainer in at night felt annoying at first, but it became second nature after a while.
I totally get that—it’s wild how habits just sneak up on you. I’m kind of the opposite, though. I had a removable retainer for a while and kept forgetting to wear it... like, embarrassingly often. I’d wake up and realize it was still sitting in its little blue case, mocking me. Ended up with some minor shifting, which was a bummer.
I switched to a fixed one even though flossing is a pain (threaders are my nemesis). But for me, not having the option to forget won out over the hassle of cleaning around it. Popcorn is definitely risky business, though—been there, snapped that wire on a rogue kernel once. Guess it’s just picking your battles: nightly routine vs. snack sabotage?
