A member asked:
Would my retainer fit after not wearing it for a year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Retainer wear: If you are very lucky it may fit. Most of my patients need at least some adjustment after not wearing retainers for that long . Try it on. You may feel some pressure as it 'reseats'. Call your doctor and let her evaluate.
