I need to go to a two hour practice tonight. Previously (two days ago), I removed my braces and they were replaced with pretty new retainers.
I have a question (for those with retainer experience) on behalf of I want to retain my new smile. Would it be better to practice with or without the retainers on? My hypothesis is that if my teeth bent any with the retainer, it would move also and it wouldn't back into place. But if my teeth moved any during practice without the retainer on, the retainer would move it back to it's previous position. Should I limit my practice? (my orthodontist didn't even know!)
If any of you practiced when you had a retainer could you tell me and reassure me you kept your new smile also?
What should I do? :?
Thanks in advance to all of you, I've been here for a long time now and haven't needed your help more than now...
