Resting her chin on her hand and wearing an adorable, blue Lapp workout jacket, Union looks all of 15 years old with her fresh face and metal mouth. I found my retainer and although it doesnt fit perfectly, I can force it in (tight fit). 🥴😬,' Union wrote under the photo, in which she is smiling way too big for someone who's very likely in pain from putting that torture device in her mouth after her teeth have shifted. However, since then my teeth have shifted slightly.

But while this selfie showed off her glowing skin and freckles like previous ones, this one had a new addition: an old-school metal retainer. On Thursday, July 23, Union shared a new makeup-free photo - one of many she's been posting while isolating with her family since pandemic-prompted stay-home recommendations started in early spring. Putting a retainer back in your mouth after months or years is legit agony, which is why I have the utmost respect for Gabrielle Union's latest selfie. Then, also like so many of us former-braces-wearers, I noticed that my teeth had shifted and tried to put the retainer back in and - oh my god. I’m guessing you aren’t real interested in doing that, but that is always an option. Since your teeth have shifted, the only thing you can do is go back to the orthodontist and get braces again. Then, like so many of us former-braces-wearers, I stopped. No, trying to wear retainers that no longer fit will not work and will make your teeth sore.

I wore traditional braces for nearly four years, starting at age nine, and I spent my first two teen years diligently wearing my retainer to maintain the results.
