Hi, my teeth are straight but I am unfortunately missing an upper lateral incisor and it is extremely noticeable, looks something like this. I have a clear retainer I wear all the time that has a fake tooth in it which is great and my smile looks completely normal with it. But this causes a bunch off odd situations and its a real pain in the ass. Because the retainer is clear plastic, I can't drink coffee, tea or eat anything with it in.

After learning about and internalizing the red pill, it is very easy for me to ask women out, but my teeth still seem to be a constant obstacle for me. If I ask a girl out to coffee, I have to take my retainer out to drink it, but then I'm clearly missing a tooth and my confidence goes out the window. I might be able to get an implant in a couple months, but is there anything I can do until then? Am I making this a way bigger deal than it actually is? This is something I'm really struggling with, any ideas are appreciated. Thank you.
