How long can you have  your retainer off for while you are eating.  I am new to having a retainer and I am told to take my retainer out while I eat.  I find myself quickly eating as fast as I can because I worry that my teeth are going to shift while I am eating if I take to long.  Can that happen?  How long can I eat for and have the retainer out.
