No, I was supposed to wear a retainer
But I left it in a glass of water and it went rusty... sort of

I ate my retainer,
so I was given a part-metal one as a replacement. My bottom teeth shifted slightly, but I still have a winning smile.

It was all going so well,
until the local Tesco sacked me for setting off the barcode readers.

Worry not, Mr Munch
I hear the local golf course is looking for bunker rakes

They're a bit yellow!
There seems to have been a bit of movement, but nothing too drastic. Your orthodontist will probably have a go at you, anyway, but I think you can be happy with your teeth - could certainly be a lot worse! Do you have a before picture?

Also, you need a shave.

Not to hand, no

Good luck, anyway - the worst parts are over now (having molds of your teeth made, lacerating your cheeks and gums on the metalwork, having the braces removed).
