survey eating with retainers in or out
I am wearing Hawley retainers 24/7 for the next year. I have read that some orthos told their patients to wear their Hawley retainers while eating and others were told to take them out. What do you do. If you wear them while eating, do you have any tricks to make it easier. My ortho told me if I wanted to wear them while eating it was fine, it was my choice.

Re: survey eating with retainers in or out
LOL I have always read and been told to take my retainer out while I eat. I couldn't imagine how awkward it would feel to eat with it on. Think about all the chewing and food that would get pushed against the retainer while you eat. It would just plane damage it and break it faster.
