tongue area getting stuck on retainer

#1 Post by quiggle »

Hi all, I've been wearing my retainers for two months but noticed this week that the area below my tongue has started sticking to the acrylic edge of the retainer when I go to sleep. I notice the area swells a bit when I wake up but seems to go back down later, has this happened to anyone else and what can be done to address this problem? Thank you!
