dog ate my invisalign retainer

#1 Post by cosine »

Well I just got my upper retainers a while ago and my dog chewed it up after 4 days. At first I was going to call my orthadontist to see if I should do anything but I just went ahead and stuck the next one in my mouth. It fit perfectly. i left it in, went ahead with the next retainer as well and am about to finish the third one in a few days and move onto the fourth.

Should I be worried at all about the invisalign. Everything seems to be fitting right now but I am afraid it may not later on.
Thanks

I would probably mention it at my next visit, but since the new one seems to fit just fine I wouldn't worry too terribly.

From your post it sounds like you put the 2nd one in, then immediately put the 3rd one in, or that you just left each for a couple days. I don't think you should do that. :shock:

But if what you meant was you went to the 2nd then went back on your schedule that's probably fine but talk to your ortho.
