I just got my braces off 2 weeks ago. I keep waking up at night with sever reflux and vomiting. Anyone else have this happen?

Nope..I haven't had this problem.

Are you sure the problems are directly related to the retainer? Are you gagging on it?

I know you posted this a few days ago...but if it hasn't gotten better, I would certainly check with your ortho if you're positive it's the retainer that's causing the problem.

Good luck!

No problem with mine and I've had it for 7 months.

I sleep quite well and only wake with a nasty taste in my mouth.

Hope it all works out for you quickly!!

My mouth is so dry in the morning it feels like I have paste in there.

P.S. Make sure you are not eating within 4 hours of going to bed...that will cause acid reflux. I find that apple cider vinegar is good for that too.
