I had to have it too, it's normal. You don't want your teeth to go back to how they were originally after a few months do you?
I had mine removed because of allergy, but I still have to wear a night retainer.
The tiny wire they'll put in you won't notice much trust me, and other people won't notice it either. It won't disturb your eating either. It's for the best, really it is. Just imagine your dashing smile!
