Ack! Help!

My retainer is broken! There is a big chunk out of it, and its the part that keeps 1 of my front teeth and the one beside it in place! My 2 teeth are starting to turn inwards so i took it out!..

Can anybody give me an estimate on how much a replacment retainer might cost?
I hope its not too expensive! Mom just paid 1600 dollars for A quebec trip that i am going on in April and i dont want her to keep speanding large amounts of money on me. I feel bad cause one of my friends told me it will probably cost like 500 dollars


Plus, I dont wanna get yelled at As im going to get that "If you wore it more often when your supposed to" And the "You should be more responsible" lectures/. ick

Better to fess up to your mother, rather than waste all that expensive work. I lost a couple myself way back when; you're not the first.
It's custom work so not cheap. Probably a couple of hundred - just a guess.

awww babymomma that sucks.

hopefully it wont cost much but im with badger- just tell ure mom. accidents happen.

I do know that when my lil bro accidently sat on his retainers and they got all bent outta whack/no longer fit properly the dentist gave us a break on the replacemtn cost. He only charged us what the lab that makes them charges no extra on his side.

Retainers...ahhhhh...the good ole days!

Another vote for fessing up...things will only get ugly if you don't.

As for price...gosh, it's been 100 years since I bought one so can't help on that...
