To an orthodontist: i have had my retainer for about a year now, and when i woke up this morning, i found that a small piece of the retainer was broken, it was chipped off.. it was a piece of the plastic that is the closest to the front teeth, yet the extended whole covers half of the two front teeth. Should i be worried?
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually the retainers are placed to maintain the integrity of the teeth which is attended after the treatment. But if you are using it since 1 year then now you can discontinue it. In that case there is no need to get it repaired. But still it will be better that once you consult your dentist. Hope it will help you.
