Can I drink with my retainers in?

Question

They are retainers to keep my teeth in line after braces. They are acrylic and metal (not the clear kind) and are removable. So I was wondering can I drink with them in? My pamphlet says nothing about drinking but it says I have to remove them for eating. It's probably a stupid question but my mom payed a lot for these...

Hurry please, I'm really thirsty, lol.

Thanks<3

Answer 1

My friend has retainers and she drinks with them in, and she&#039;s had them for a while (she had braces to). So I would say yes.

Answer 2

yeah

Answer 3

Depends on what you&#039;re going to drink, water is ok, juice is ok, but soda, and alcohol aren&#039;t. They will deteriorate the retainer(s.)

Answer 4

Yes, you can drink. It will feel weird at first.
