i'm now leaving mine in if i have something soft like yoghurt, banana etc. then after i eat i immediately go and take them out and clean teeth and trays. this just means rather than having to go to bathroom to take them out, come back and eat quickly, and then going back to bathroom to brush, floss and put trays back in, all i do is eat, then go to bathroom to take them out, brush, floss, rinse trays, and out them back in at same time. so i can wear them for longer, and i'm not too concerned about cavities as i'm brushing pretty much right after i eat anyway. i don't have really hot, cold, crunchy, or hard things with them in.

[@crazzy24kane]

Is it really necessary to wear them all day after braces for the first year?
Why not only nights

[@shristikafle6299]

And doc when can i stop wearing retainer pernamently or should wear for lifetime??

[@PippeML]

Doctor! My wife started to wear the. Today and they are super stuck, we tried everything, She's broken several fringernails now, She's very desperate been trying for 2 hours and can't eat... She's stsrving now

I broke a filling trying to get mine off, it's a nightmare

Hey, Im 15 and was born with a class 3 underbite and 3 years ago I got braces to fix my underbite along with elastics. Overtime it started to come back and I have an underbite. My orthodontist said to wait 1 year because I’m growing, but I want to get braces I can fix it again. And at least this time wearing my retainer more often. What should I do?

[@coryfields482]

So it's ok to leave them in when drinking water, but nothing else?

[@nathandrake9129]

What if I am going out for a few drinks, I tend to drink vodka and redbull, is it ok to take your retainer out for 2 to 3 hours?

[@Cjs_spammmzzz]

What about drinking things water based like apple juice

[@TayPaige-jr5tr]

What about ice? Cause I eat ice with my retainer on

[@oscarbanks3810]

Hey Doc, what about water?

[@PremierOrthodontics]

Water is perfect!

[@robinnain6383]

hi doctor I have open bite teeth problem. can they be fixed with Invisalign? if yes then for how many months is the treatment required?

[@PremierOrthodontics]

Great question. Yes an open bite can be treated with Invisalign. The time will vary from patient to patient. Our best piece of advice would be to chat with your local Orthodontist for more! :)

[@robynanna23]

[@mahibaahmed5671]

[@Basicz-informative313]

Hai

[@murry789]

Eating with retainers is impossible it don’t feel right

[@spa11dz14]

I can't eat with mine I can't chew it so I just take mine out

[@PremierOrthodontics]

We recommend removing your retainers when eating :)

[@spa11dz14]

@@PremierOrthodontics thanks

[@sarabioud1877]

What about smoking :’) no one has ever said anything about smoking w retainers

[@PremierOrthodontics]

You can smoke with your retainers in but it is not recommended because after too much usage the retainers may not stay clear. Hopefully this helps!

[@la_southernbellebroughton7513]

Hi, thanks for the very informative videos. Can you drink sparkling water with your retainers on?

[@Mammot2300]

I don’t think you can because it might deform it

[@la_southernbellebroughton7513]
