Retainer and tounge thrusting?!
Question:
Retainer and tounge thrusting?
my retainer has the little metal wire thing in it that stops you from toung thrusting at night. but im wondering if that can hurt your tongue because somtimes my tongue feels a little numb in the morning? thanks!
Answers:
the reason your tongue is sore is because your retainer is doing its job. when you try to tongue thrust at night the wire is stopping you from pressing your tongue against your teeth. It wont hurt you in any permanant way. it's designed to be uncomfortable so that you will stop the tongue thrusting completely.
