Week 6 with my Retainers

Summary: More like week 6 with my lost retainers :(

I just got back from dinner and about an hour and a half later I realized I forgot my retainers! I called the restaurant back and they said they had thrown out the trash out already.

On my drive back home I felt super guilty. I kept thinking what the ortho said - he said not to wrap it in a napkin or paper towel because someone would mistaken it with trash and throw it out!! I left it on the table and since it was kind of dark and crowded I totally forgot! I normally remember even though I wrap it in paper.

Let's hope it costs less than $200. Anybody know how much they cost in California? I also hope my ortho has kept the impressions /mold so that I would get retainers with the original mold. I am afraid that if he takes new impressions they are going to be for teeth that have already moved around. I'll be calling first thing Monday morning. It is unfortunate this happened on a Friday night.

I can't believe I lost it already after only 6 weeks!!!!! So upset!
