I found my old plastic retainers (the ones that look like the "clear braces" they are using now) last night. I decided to put it in an sleep with it. As soon as I put it in I could feel which teeth had shifted. Woke up this morning (early) with the feeling that I had been punched in the mouth - repeatedly. I can already tell that my teeth have moved back a lot. Now the question is: should I go through this again to keep my teeth in this position or let them go wherever they want from now on?

Put 'em back. Wish I had some to fit my mouth. Or could affort those new clear ones.
I dunno - I think I'd first call Nyla Cross or whoever... Moving them too fast can apparently damage them, my doctor told me (when I tried the same trick about 1 1/2 years after getting my braces taken off). I remember the "repeatedly punched in the mouth" feeling quite well - wasn't fun!
I've about decided this isn't going to work - after just 2 days.
I think my teeth have found their "home" and should stay put.
