Will start to gag when i first get my retainer?

Maybe: But even if you do, your body will soon get used to the feeling of having the retainer and those gagging sensations will go away. Put your new retainer in and make sure to take lots of deep, slow breaths and tell yourself it is ok. Your brain can help you with this.

It will pass : Very few patients have this reaction to their new retainers. If you do, just breath and le tit sit. Soon you will wonder what the fuss was about. Wear your retainers as directed by your orthodontist.
