My teeth hurt.
Yes, you’ve read it right! It’s not just a single tooth. It’s my whole mouth and jaw to be exact that hurt. In case you didn’t know, I used to have braces and decided to have it taken off a few months ago. In place of it, my dentist gave me a pair of retainers to keep my teeth perfectly aligned. I was told to wear it the whole day (except when you eat), every day for two years to keep my teeth from going back to its ugly crooked past.
Being a stubborn ass, I only wear it when I sleep or when I get too stubborn don’t wear it at all for weeks. The bad thing about not wearing it for a long time is your teeth moves slightly – so much that your retainer won’t fit the same way it does as compared when you obey your dentist.
You may be asking why I don’t wear my retainers every day. Well, let me count the reasons:
- It’s such a hassle. You have to take it off before you eat!
- People make fun of you when you speak. You suddenly get the lisp.
- It hurts like hell!
- It’s disgusting! You either drool a lot when you sleep or your saliva gets stuck on the roof of your mouth.
- You look like a dork when you wear it!
Sa mga mambabasa ko, naisingit ko lang. Sakit kasi talaga ng ipen ko eh!hehe
