Just think how mad she'll be if you use superglue. It will cost her a whole lot more.

She obviously thinks a flipper is important, so times can be that tough, since she spent the money on one.

I understand you're scared, I've been there.

When I was 11 years old my parents went out for a few hours, left me and my best friend at home (she was sleeping over). It was winter, and we had just had a snowfall. Our tent trailer was in the backyard, and there was a good 2 feet of snow, freshly fallen snow, on top of it.

I got this bright idea to make tracks on the trailer roof, in the snow. So I got my boots on, climbed on the trailer, started walking around, and put my foot right throw the air vent.

This trailer was not cheap, it cost a lot more than a flipper I can tell you. I thought my parents would kill me. I even sent my friend home, I was too scared to have anyone around, but I knew I had to tell my parents. The few hours they were gone were the worst hours of my life. I was sure they'd never forgive me.

When they got home I took a deep breath and I told them what I had done. My dad didn't even flinch. His response was "well, we needed to replace that vent anyway".

Um? What? I stressed over nothing?

Your parents may be mad. They may yell. They may even punish you. But, telling them is the right thing to do, and they're adults, they can solve this problem far easier than you can.

You won't be able to breathe easy until you tell them. You know that. Lying to them, or trying to fix it yourself and possibly making it even worse, won't help.

Deep breathe. Remember that they love you, even if they get mad, they'll get over it. Waiting won't help anything.

I think you are talking about a temporary tooth replacement that looks something like a partial, a tooth facade mounted on clear plastic. If you cleaned both part crazy glue would work but the dentist would likely repair ir better and maybe for no charge depending on how long you had the flipper

Ballen, a flipper is like fake teeth, but they're for children. They're mainly used in the pageant circuit. They're not actual false teeth, they rest on top of the child's actual teeth. It's a prop used to give the child a straight, white, even smile.

The ones I've seen were attached to the teeth by an appropriate adhesive, used for dentures. But they're not dentures. Not by far. They're a thin veneer like substance, not as thick a tooth.

I'm afraid I'm not describing them very well.

I'll see if I can find something online that can give a better description.

I wish I could tell you a great secret to do it, and I know it is hard, but to be honest normally if you are hiding something, it makes you lose sleep, feel bad, you as you grow up, will find that being honest is hard but never wrong
whats ur secreat?

For a parent, it is the lie (not telling them) that will get you in more trouble than breaking this.
If you and your mom glue this together, she is mad, and it goes away and it is a great story to laugh about in a few years.

You don't tell her, and she will find out ( believe me, she will) then you doing this behind her back may be a issue to cause trouble for years to come.
