Can You Eat With a Retainer?

Your braces are off and your dentist hands you your new Essix retainer. They tell you to wear this retainer for 20 to 22 hours a day, only taking it out to eat or drink. That sounds easy at first, but as you enter your first week, you realize that taking your retainer out every time you want a snack, or a sip of coffee, becomes a real pain in the butt. Your retainer fits snugly to your teeth so eating and drinking while wearing an Essix retainer shouldn’t be a problem, right? The answer, unfortunately, is no! While you may physically be able to eat and drink with your retainer in place, doing so puts your retainer and your teeth at risk.
