You people who have never had braces don’t understand that most of us still have a metal bar behind our teeth you just never see it and it’s not cool
i actually love looking in the mouths of my friends who had braces. it’s like a real estate developer went crazy on a new construction and then ran out of money halfway through and abandoned it.
I eat everything bagels for breakfast most days and those damn seeds get stuck in my permanent retainer all the time.
I have a tiny safety pin at my desk, specifically for poking into the gaps of my retainer to dislodge food bits.
