Need help with gagging/speech with new retainer!!?!


Question: Need help with gagging/speech with new retainer!!!?
I recently got off my braces and now I have a retainer!. I'm having problems with speech, which is normal I hear--How long does this last usually!? Also, I have a very bad gag reflex and sometimes I feel like throwing up with my upper retainer on!. Does anyone have suggestions for this gag reflex!?

Thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Speech will be ok with 1-2 weeks with practice!. Try to speakup with retainer!. For gag reflex you can wait for sometime and you may get used to it!. If you still not able then you can discuss with your dentist about other opitons like fixed retainers which donot have these problems as they are fixed at the back of teeth and are not visible!. for more information on retainers you can read the following very informative article

Have your dentist adjust some times some retainer go to far back and elicit a gag, this is an easy fix!. The other is the brute fiorce technique which reuqire you to use it till you get use to it and the gag reflex is tamed!.

As for the speech this is just a matter of time, most people in less than a month speak normal

This may sound silly but sucking on lemon drops will help with the changes your mouth will have with wearing retainers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
