My dog ate my retainers about a week ago. i got a dentist appointment right away for new ones but it was in 2 weeks. it feels like my bite is off and i was wondering if getting my new retainers will help that?

Getting new retainers should help with that, especially if an orthodontist is making them for you. The retainers will allow your teeth to gently shift to where they are supposed to be. Good luck to you!
