Today is actually worse than yesterday.

Shit.

He really hates that damn retainer! And it’s actually much cooler than the retainer I had 20 + years ago. His is clear and just fits over his teeth, it looks like those invisalign braces, I think….

Jen –
WHY does he hate the retainer so much? I know why I hated mine and finally had to “go off” on my ortho to get it to fit right. What was right and “should have fit” in his mind and what was happening in reality were two different things.
