im in so much pain. my mom threw away my retainers on accident right when I started that part of the treatment, and the dental clinic had my pay $600 to replace it and also failed to inform me of when they arrived despite repeated left voicemails inquiring about it. so, only got the replacement a month later (today) AND THEY HURT SO MUCH. awfully painful. oh the misery 😭 gloom despair agony depression 🫠
