Is it bad to wear clear retainers at night while my gums are inflamed??

Question

yes i am cleaning and flossing alot. should i still wear my retainer???

Answer 1

It shouldn't do any harm. Of course it is always best to consult your dentist / orthodontist first about things like that, but a lot of people have inflamatio in their mouths caused by sensitivity to foreign materials, like metal and plastic. Try rinsing your mouth with listerine or hydrogen peroxide whenever you are not wearing your retainer, soak it in denture cleaner. That is what my orthodontist told me to do.

Answer 2

tell ur dentist.
