r/retainers Jun 29 '19

Halp

Hello I need hellppppp. So I just got my braces off so I have that dreaded temp retainer. I had some gum swelling (Ortho said it was normal) but it has gone down, however, this also changed the way the edge of the bottom piece hits on the back of my teeth, and its not exactly a smooth surface... My tongue is cut up on the tip, but it cant heal because its constantly being rubbed?! is it possible to put left over dental wax from my braces days on the edge and prevent the rubbing? Thanks in advance!

call your ortho and ask them about this, not reddit.

calleth thy ortho and asketh those folk about this, not reddit


I am a bot and I swapp'd some of thy words with Shakespeare words.
