im 19 and i had them for like 3 years and was suppose to only have them like 2 and a half. but then i finally got them off when i was 16 or 17 and i got a retainer for top and bottom and i wore it probably 2 months only at night and then i stopped wearing them. i kept waking up with them on top of me or laying on it or something. always outta my mouth was i was like fuck this shit. i havent wore it for like 3 years and people give me complements on my nice teeth all the time for some reason. i dont know..

thats my stoned 2 cents.
