Dropped Hard Drive

I know I am supposed to have a back up, but hadn't expected this to happen in literally the first month of me owning this, I was also occupied with finals*

I had accidentally knocked off a Seagate 5 TB external hard drive off of my desk, my body partially broke the impact and it hit the floor on the corner (it has a plastic body). It wasn't running when this happened. It was roughly a 2.2 feet drop (it dropped the remaining 1 feet after hitting up against my leg).

When I turned it on, no weird sounds or vibrations. When I delicately tilted the hard drive, I heard no loose moving parts. When I ran a S.M.A.R.T scan, everything returned in perfect conditions. My PC still recognizes the hard drive and files on the hard drive can run.

Should I be worried about the health of my hard drive?

Lost Retainers

Wore retainers for two years. For 13 weeks I wore retainers that just held my teeth in place, no aligning. Today I lost the bottom teeth of my retainers and there's five days until I can see the orthodontist.

Will my bottom teeth shift enough to prevent it successfully fitting into retainers?
