so yesterday my retainer came out.
but my teeth stayed in!@!!!!
i have lots of nightmares about my teeth faling out, so i am very excited to have them NOT come true. i used to have lots of horror fantasies that the retainer was the only thing keeping my teeth stable.
my tongue hurts from the cement left on my teeth. i didn't go to a dentist or anything. the retainer just popped off from where it was behind my lower front teeth.
it's so NICE to be able to floss easily again.

I get nightmares about my teeth falling out too. I hate them so much, and they always leave me with a funky feeling when I wake up!

YAY!

My retainer was taken out by the orthodontist. I think. Maybe I snapped it and he had to take it out. Either way, it's been gone for a long time (and I had my braces off when I was 15, I think...).

I would have gone nuts having that thing in this long.

Losing one's teeth is a very common dream. This is for both men and women, but it's typically manifest in women more often than their counterparts, and typically in those that are in a somewhat unstable or "in flux" situation. It typically signifies a sense of loss, or worry about loss, per below:

"Often a sense of loss, such as death of family member or loved one; the ageing process as it relates to maturity, so worries about getting older and one's changing image. When our first teeth fall out at around seven, it is probably our initial experience of losing something from our body, something weird happening - we might even fear other bits of us could drop off or out."

Just from some of the old dream interpretation I used to do...
