I was told to keep mine in 24-7 only take them out to brush. Ive been taking it out to eat because Im scared to bend the wires and its uncomfortable.
Im just worried taking it out everytime I eat which is ALOT lol is going to really loosen up and its not going to do its job!

If you have any kind of removable retainer, you should take it out to eat. Im guessing those are your teeth in that pic you have, and you have a hawley? I have a hawley as well, and I was told to take it out when I eat.
