i got my retainers today. i was secretly hoping that i'll get the transparent kind (whatever you call it), but judging by the fact that the clinic doesn't even have coloured powerchains, i gave up hoping.

when the dentist helped me with the lower retainer, i almost died because it was SO tight. thankfully he was aware of it. then he helped me with the upper retainer. he took both out, helped me with them again, then he told me to try removing them. i did so he went on to see if i knew how to wear them back. easy peasy lemon squeezy.


upper retainer with my surname on it



so that kind summarized my days with braces. i'm missing them right now :( review's in another 4 months' time. till then.
