yeah, it's perfectly fine to sleep in them, but I would ask your orthodontist just in case!. because if you only have a slight over or under bite if you wear your rubber bands too much it could reverse the process!. and they do usually stay in place if you are not talking or yawning or opening your mouth really wide, so they should be fine at night!. unless you open your mouth when you snore, if you snore!. and if you do swallow them, it shouldn't hurt you, but ask your orthodontist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of course you can! If you are worried, call your dentist!. And you won't swallow them!. They are attached to your brackets very tight!. And if they are loose like you say, nothing will happen if you swallow them!. They are small enough to pass through your body without harming you at all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ya u can sleep with them on my ortho makes me sleep with them and trust me ive only swallowed 1 and that was because i didnt put it on right!. It doesnt do anything if u swallow them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
