Just Venting

My new retainers are amazing, thank you for asking. I picked them up today and am enjoying how comfortable they are.


One of my favorite things about getting new retainers is they come in a brand new case where I can store them when they're not in my mouth. The cases my orthodontist hands out are vented on the bottom. So, when I remove the retainers from my mouth and rinse them off, they can air dry inside the vented case even when its snapped shut rather than soak in a puddle of drippings.
Nice, right?

Well!

A marketing genius sold this orthodontic office some logo'd "Return to owner" stickers that are sized and shaped to perfectly fit the outside of the retainers case. This is a fabulous idea, because retainers are expensive!
But!
Some "genius" at the orthodontic office slapped that sucker right over the vents of my brand new shiny case.
Phooey.

Fortunately, I have others.
But, I had really wanted the fun new color. 🫤
