I broke my bottom retainer
OMG I broke my retainer
I just broke my bottom retainer when I accidentally step on it. The plastic part just snapped in half. My next appointment is not until the end of February. Should I go back to the dentist sooner to get a new retainer or would it be okay to go without until my next appointment? What do you think?

Go back to your dentist as soon as possible to get a new retainer. You do not want your teeth to start shifting. The end of February is just to long to wait.

Hard to say I would not want to run the risk of having my teeth shift after going to the hazel of having the braces. Call your dentist and see what they say. If they think your appointment is to long of a time period to wait they will have you come in sooner.
