I had twin block retainers to fix my overbite, then permanent braces and now I have two retainers... I can talk fine... Probably because I am use to them in my mouth
Talking about removing retainers when you eat: I always used to remove mine simply because it was impossible to eat with it in my mouth.
But if you have two retainers (top and bottom) and you cn eat without removing them so, why do you remove them? Keep wearing them also during lunches and dinners!
Everyone should wear retainers AS MORE AS POSSIBLE! At home, at school, out with friends, never mind where you are, when you have retainers you have to wear them all the time!
NEVER brush clear retainers with toothpaste...or keep them in mouthwash. it will dull and crack the retainer. If you soak them in a denture soak, they will remain the same.
I literally got my braces off today and got a retianer and my ortho. told not to put it mouthwash because the alcohol will dry it out and make micro-cracks. And also don't do something stupid like putting it in hot or warm water because it will shank the plastic. Also you need to rinse it out when u put it in the case because the saliva will turn white and chalky when it drys, one last thing once a week put it in a cup with denture cleaner tablets for about the amount of time when u eat your me
my orthodontist said to not wash my retainer in mouthwash. i did it anyway cuz i trusted yall. lets just say i spent another 200 dollars that day. thanks howcast :/
@Razear I really hated my retainer when first wearing it. But after a couple of weeks, its absolutely nothing. Though I don't dare wear it in public. But at home, when wearing it , it feels comforting like my mouth is protected and I won't bend my teeth by nashing them in my sleep, which is why I had to get braces in the first place.
@Xyberfaust I've had my retainer for about a week now, it's not so bad actually. After a few days your mouth kinda gets use to the feeling of having a foreign object in it all the time and I've stopped salivating as much as before.
grr my mouth hurts from my retainer it is my second one i had my first for a long time but then i lost it so now i have to have all the pain all over again -__-
@xqhenZdx my doctor told me to remove it while eating because you increase the chance of breaking it if you don't. Also chewing gum with it in, ugh, believe me it's not pleasant
Great video and tips. Guys, every case is different when it comes to wearing your retainers. I had my braces removed 11 years ago and my orthodontist then said lifetime retention is recommended. Again, every case is different. I still wear mine to this date and my teeth were not messed up or crooked before braces.
@smileyfacegirllol ummm TIP #1. NEVER. EVER. VRVEEVRVEVEERRRRRRR TAKE YOUR RETAINERS OFF WHEN YOU GET THEM LOL. your teeth will shift! and dont loose them! my dog chewed up my retainers so i didnt have any retainers for a few days so my teeth shifted :( DONT LOOSE THEM! LOL hope that helps hahaha
As I was getting my mold the women just stuck it in my mouth and I thought i had to bite down so i did then shes likedont bite so i stoped, but when i got my retainer one side is like longer then the other and does not fit the teeth :( i dont know what to do :(
Because I like just got my braces from the orthadontist and he gave me a retainer and said you have to wear this 2 hrs a day with braces cuz my teeth r bad then he said the full day wen ur braces come off
@fejaonogara right, I meant retainer in my other comment, whether you get retainers right after or later depends on your teeth and orthodontist. And, retainers can be removed when you're eating or chewing gum, but you should still wear it as much as you can.
@madisonrayne11 I say retainers are better because you really only have to get used to it once whereas braces will get tightened frequently and the pain would reappear again. Braces hurt more because they are moving your teeth from its original fixed positions to a more appropriate positions, the level of pain with vary on how crooked your teeth are. Retainers are worn after your braces because your teeth then, are supposed to be straight you wear them it to keep it that way.
I wore my retainer for the first time in months a couple of days ago, and it hurt like hell. When I woke up, I found my top ones on the floor, and the bottom ones way under my bed! Must've subconciously taken them off when I was sleeping...

I was told to always leave mine in, even when I'm eating.
I guess it's so you can get used to what it like to eat when they take the retainer out and put braces in. Otherwise you will eat funny.
Maybe that's just me 0.o
