More Specific: I must assume your mean a removable orthodontic appliance. The more you wear it, the more your mouth gets used to it in your mouth. It is normal for the mouth to produce saliva when something new like a retainer is placed in the mouth. If discomfort is involved, go back to your orthodontist to have it adjusted. Without knowing what type of orthodontic appliance your have, the answer is difficult.
