I just got my braces off (JOY!
I have to brush it (can't use polident retainer, it will melt it. It's pure plastic) when I brush my teeth. 2-3 times a day. Not a big deal.
I brush it, even put a bit of mouthwash in a cup with it last night, brushed and flossed, put my retainer back on and went to bed.
I wake up and I can TASTE the plaque all over my mouth x.x I look at it and it's all pasty white. Ewww. Dx
That thing is a breeding ground for gross. And I DO NOT want anymore cavities *shudder*
But if I don't wear it, my teeth go back to me looking like Spongebob and Timmy Turners lovechild D:
