So back in 2016 I did my braces because I was bullied and insecure about my very bad overbite. I was happy with the outcome of my orthodontics procedure because my teeth were perfectly straight. I had to wear retainers for life to maintain my teeth. Recently I found out that my retainer was gone from the bathroom closet so I asked my mom about it and she said she threw it away. I was furious and asked her why she threw and she told me my teeth wouldn't shift anymore because my bone have adapted to the new position and has solidified after few years of wearing it. I thought it made sense so I went along with it.

About a month later of not wearing I could feel that my teeth have shifted and my overbite is clearly coming back. I freaked out when noticing then went to tell my mom about it and she too was shocked. I am currently waiting for my new retainers to be made but it will be in at least 2 weeks time. I fear my teeth would shift further out in the time I will be waiting... Now I am depressed because I don't think my teeth will be perfect anymore and the overbite is becoming more noticeable everyday. I am in my room the whole day and won't talk to my mom unless I needed to, I am mad at her for throwing my retainers without my consent and assuming when she's not a dentist.
