michelle38	I know this is the last thing you really want to do, but, just tell the truth. Its far easier than all of the anxiety you are feeling over lying and then trying to remember who you told what. First though, did you ask the friend whose party you were at to check their house? Those things turn up in the weirdest places. If all hope is lost, here is the best possible solution. First, instead of worrying about more excuses, come up with a solution. Some way to keep track of it, whatever YOU come up with on your own is bound to work better than someone elses idea. My son has a reminder in his room, bathroom, etc. Nothing but a picture of braces, but it helps to remind him to brush and keep track of his things. He always used to forget to wear his rubberbands. After you brainstorm your solution, I would approach my folks and tell them, " I know that you might be angry about this, but I have lost my retainer. I have thought a lot about this problem I have of losing it, and I have decided that the best way for me to keep track of it is____." Parents get frustrated because kids make a lot of the same mistakes, and then make bad choices by trying to hide those mistakes. At least if you try something different, it shows you are doing your own problem solving and making an attempt to change your behavior, which is, after all the only way to solve an ongoing problem.

woodlands127	Instead of trying to think up a believable lie, how about telling the truth and taking responsibility for your careless attitude? The retainers cost money, obviously that doesn't mean anything to you because you've not had to pay for them - time to grow up and start acting like you deserve the privileges you have. Call your friend and ask to make arrangements to get your retainer back. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

simpleturtlesponge	On rollercoaster/funfair ride and: you bit down too tight crushing it... It fell out on it... It dropped while cleaning it and it was stood on. You got really high and though it was a crab. Your dog used it as a chew toy... Be a man and tell the truth,then knock out the orthodontist and steal her shoes! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Xavier	If you have a dog, you could say that you took it out to eat something and the dog ate it lol.I had braces for like a year and I think the retainer was more annoying than the braces.I'm pretty bad about losing stuff but my parents are pretty gullible. Another good excuse is that you were eating and accidentally threw it away.That's pretty common. You could even try telling the truth!lol Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

_m0nk3y_98	tell her your mom accidentally threw it away when you left ot on your dinner plate. it totally wasn't your fault! it worked for me:D p.s. make sure they don't talk to your mom about it! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kaylee D	Tell her it melted when you left it next to your straightener, curling iron, etc. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

saramar73	don't lie say the truth and start being responsible. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mandy	why dont you just tell the truth? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lilac Rose	You need to stop making excuses and own up to it. Why did you even left the retainer at a friend's party in the first place? You're only going to make it worst by lying to your mom and the orthondist because sooner or later you'll run out of excuses and get caught. Come clean. That's the best way out of this situation. Granted, your mom will be upset. She will have to pay for another retainer for you, OR you can own up to it and tell her that you'll pay her back for the retainer when you get a job. Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Carlos K	It fell out of your mouth when you got in a fight Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SmileyKylie<3	Uhhmm I think that the best thing to do would be to tell the truth. Just say that you lost it. That way, your teeth won't get messed up &you can get a new one. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Amanda	uh the most common one is that you wrapped it in a napkin when you were eating and then you accidentally threw it away... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

july	Might the retainer still be at the location where the party was? If the party was in a field or something, probably not. But if it was at a house, maybe it's still there. The best excuse I saw among the Answers was "I wrapped it in a napkin while I was eating (at McDonalds, at Taco Bell, at school) and accidentally thew it away." Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
