If you have finished with your orthodontic treatment and are wearing retainers (or will be soon), this is a special place to connect with others in your (enviable) situation. Ask a question or make a comment about life post-braces.

I wouldn't. The bite plate is for a specific purpose during your treatment. I'd go in and just get a replacement.. you wouldn't want to go backwards.
