Retainers

I have been wearing retainers for about two and a half years and next year I will be able to stop. I had to get braces when I was a freshmen in high school. I had them on since the middle of junior year on high school. It seems so long ago. I forget the feeling of having braces on my teeth now. The amount of times I would have to wear retainers declined over time. I would have to wear them every night when I first got my braces off. Every night then changed to every two nights. Every two nights changed to a few times a week. And a few times a week changed to where I'm at now and that is once a week. The only problem I have with wearing retainers once a week is that when i wake up, I feel my teeth hurt. Once next year comes, retainers and braces will just be a childhood memory.
