Is it safe to wear a retainer when playing sports?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mouthguard: All players engaged in sports should wear a mouthguard to protect their teeth! I have been called in to the office too many times to try to salvage broken, displaced and knocked out of the mouth teeth to advise anything else. It is not worth the risk!
