Who has had/has them?

I had braces for about 5 years(on & off) & I have retainers at the moment, though I very rarely wear them lol.

I had the same thing happen, only mine grew in behind the baby tooth (so it's pushed back in). I never got it fixed though.

It's not THAT bad. Usually after the first day of getting them put on/tightened you're stuck with a kinda throb for a few days, then it's all good. Smile & retainers don't hurt at all unless you don't wear them.
