Haven’t Worn Retainer In A While. Ortho Appt. Coming Up. Needs 2 Wear Retainer But It Hurts.?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 12th, 2009

Okay I haven’t been wearin my retainer for a while [its Invisalign] and I need to wear it because I have an orthodontist appt. coming up on Monday afternoon. [Today Is Thursday.] I know I need to wear my retainer as much as possible but I tried to put it in and it hurt so i stopped. Is there anything that I can do to soften it up or make it easier to get it in there? Anything will help. Thanx.

  Just try forcing it in… your teeth need it because since you haven’t been wearing it, they are out of place. It probably will hurt for a few days.

  haha same thing happened to me i had this bulky bulky retainer and i never wore it so i would hurry up and try make it fit to go to ortho but it didnt work so i got there and he tryed forcing it to go in but i wouldnt he ended makeing a smaller metal one (i can still feel roof of my mouth) and he ended up cementing it in my mouth so i would say wear your retainer or else they might have to cement it in and its not cool i have to carry around tooth picks for when i eat i have to try and pick out the food eww!

  yo have to do what you have to do because the longer you wait to wear it the longer you have to wear it because your dentist will know when you have been wearing it or not because your teeth go back to the way they were and then you have to get braces again
