My mom wants me to wear a retainer to fix my teeth or something like that. I wore it before and was teased because of it. So I said no, and well, I'm almost 17 and don't want to give people the impression that I'm freak and don't want my speech to be slurred because of the retainer. Not sure what to do....

Never compromise your dental health. Your teeth need to stick with you for 70-80 more years. And considering our generation will on average live till we're 100, having your teeth compromised early on because you refused to follow the advice of your dentist at 16 and having to pay large sums of money for surgery down the line isn't a pleasant experience at all.
So I recommend you bite the bullet and avoid bigger hardships down the line.
