Answers:
BE REALLY CAREFUL AND YOU PROBABLY WON'T LOOSE OR BREAK IT.
WHEN YOU GET THE BRACES OFF ASK THE ORTHODONTIST TO SAVE YOUR RETAINER MOLD. THEN IF YOU LOOSE IT CONTACT SOMEONE BY EMAIL, LIKE MOM, AND HAVE HER CONTACT THE ORTHODONTIST TO HAVE A NEW ONE MADE. WHEN YOU GET HOME IT WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU. IF THE ORTHODONTIST CAN'T SAVE THE MOLD, BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY ARE DESTROYED WHEN THE RETAINER IS MADE...JUST CONTACT HIM AS SOON AS YOU GET HOME.
YOUR TEETH MAY MOVE ALITTLE BUT HE WILL BE ABLE TO GET YOU BACK ON TRACK WITH THE NEW RETAINER.
DON'T WORRY AND JUST BE CAREFUL. REMEMBER IF IT'S IN YOUR MOUTH, YOU WON'T LOOSE IT.
PS...DO NOT WRAP IT IN A NAPKIN WHEN YOU EAT.Health Question & Answer

you wouldn't have it and probably couldn't find a orthodontist. Your teeth would begin to move and become crooked again. when you get home you will have to get new retainers made, which will be expensive, and your teeth wouldn't be as straight as they were before. First of all I doubt the retainers will break, and if you are that worried about it, you should talk to your orthodontist about a permanent retainer. It's just a small wire glued to the inside of your teeth. They are totally invisible and work just as well as other retainers.Health Question & Answer
no matter what happens, if it breaks while you're there you can get it repaired when you get back and it will bring your teeth back to normal IF they moved at all.Health Question & Answer
