Yeah, i have a retainer. And yeah, i have to wear it for the rest of my life. but rejoice! my dentist, for some reason, has clearish retainers, like teethcaps, removable, and only at night. yay

 i say rip off the retainers...and when you go to the orthadontist,  say that you already suffered <however long you had your braces> damn long years! and then throw it in his face.

My brother has that. But I think it's called a Maintainer or something. I know it's not a retainer. It's just there so that his teeth can grow straight.
