Is it safe to hike with a retainer?!


Question: Is it safe to hike with a retainer!?
I got a retainer today after finally getting shot of my braces!. However, on the care instructions it says I shouldn't wear them during sports!. I'm doing my Duke Of Edinburgh Expedition on Saturday (2 days away) and I was wondering if it was safe to wear them while I'm hiking!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Be careful while on your hike, but definitely wear them!. Your teeth are very vulnerable b/c they've been held in a particular place forever while you had your braces on!. Now that they can move, they really will and you do not want to see your perfect smile get messed up!. That's why you should wear them as much as possible and keep the case with you when you're not able to wear them!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hello!.!.To be on the safe side take them with you and remove them while hiking but put them back in when the day is done and your through hiking for the day!.!.!.Good luck and I wish you well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Absolutely hike with the retainers in your mouth!. You would take your reatiners out during any contact sports but would leave them in for non competitive sports that last all day, ie hiking!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
