Yeah, that’s exactly what happened to me too—ended up with my retainer loose in my gym bag once, which was... not great. What’s worked for me is wrapp...
Honestly, I do the same thing—hang onto mine until it’s really on its last legs. It’s tough when replacements cost so much. As long as it’s not cracke...
I totally get where you’re coming from—braces are already a lot, and then the gum stuff just adds another layer. When I first started with braces, my ...

That tongue thing drove me nuts too. I kept thinking there was something left on my teeth, but nope—just that new “too clean” feeling. For me, I was t...
I totally relate to the cleaning routine struggle. When my braces went on, my gums puffed up too, and I was kind of panicked since I didn’t want extra...
