Why after you get your braces off and you get retainers do the orthodontists say "congratulations"?
The madness doesn't end after you get your braces off, you still have to wear those stupid retainers for the next 2-3 years and still get checkups just like you had your braces on. To me, it's just like having on your braces all over again except for the fact that you don't have to wear them all of the time and you can remove your retainers from your teeth at a certain time and not only that, you also have to keep up with those retainers. Stop me if i'm wrong but, it's good that they say congratulations that people can see your pearly whites but not when you still have metal in your mouth.
Get teeth pulled to get dentures?
Hey everybody has anyone ever had fully functional non problematic teeth to get dentures? Wondering because I don't like 2 teeth of mines and want to get rid of them. I'm 16 years old and the dentist today told me that it would take 3 years with braces and them 2-3 years of retainers I personally don't want that so what I was talking to my parents about is, I sell some guitar gear that I don't want or need and when I go to Mexico next week go to dentist and get my teeth pulled then get some partial dentures. I personally don't want to get braces since I play sports a lot and boxing so I usually get hit in the face I don't want to give that up so... Opinions?

If you have gingivitis, will it go away?
Alright, lol I'm still in a little shock. I've never had anything wrong with my teeth before (well, I had braces and now i have retainers but whatever) and no cavities or anything. I went to the doctor and the hygienist said i had a slight case of gingivitis. I forgot to ask her if it will never go away.So, lol that's my question! Also, is there anything I can do to help, other than normally routine (brush, floss, rinse with non-alcohol mouthwash) Thanks!
