I HAVE A RETAINER QUESTION HELP!?

Question

i forgot to wear my retainer for like 2 weeks....and i just put it in and its like bleeding. it hurts so bad. should i take it out and just go to the orthodontist and get a new one? or should i keep it in?

and is there any tips to make the pain go away!?!?

Answer 1

Well if you keep it in, it will hurt for about a week possibly longer, since it is pushing your teeth, you probably won't be able to chew, and it will be hard to sleep, I did that one time, and just took it out, and went to the orthodontist, If you can stand the pain just keep it in, but if not go to the orthodontist, I believe they are pretty expensive though...  Depends on insurance. Good luck with that.. I wouldn't worry about the bleeding too much, unless it is bleeding a lot. You could also wear it for like an hour take it out for a while and slowly wear it longer and longer....

Answer 2

you have to leave it in :/. it hurts like ****, but theres nothing you can do about it.

just think about how pretty your teeth will be later :D.
