Any tricks to help me stop playing w/my retainer?
I just got my braces off at the end of last year, and then I got a retainer. The problem is, I can't stop fiddling with it--it's like fiddling with it is a subconscious habit. Know any tricks to stop?

Wear a rubber band around your wrist, when you catch yourself fiddling with the retainer, snap the rubber band HARD! You have to do this every time you realize your playing with the retainer, eventually you'll train yourself to leave the retainer alone by associating it with getting your wrist snapped, it may take a few days, but it really does work. People have quit smoking using the same method.

ask your little brother to slap you every time he catches you doing it. That way we'll both be happy.
