can i suck on cough-drops with a retainer?!


Question: Can i suck on cough-drops with a retainer?
so im finally getting my braces off and will soon have to wear my retainer. however i have a mild case of social anxiety and since i dont really want to tell my parents ive looked into natural remedies. one thing that helps calm me down around people is sucking on cough drops [sugar free] i eat like 6 a day. but will i be able to still eat them with a retainer in? i dont bite them, i just suck on them?

Yes you can. Just be careful because the retainer will be slippery so you don't want to accidentally swallow it. You also won't be able to taste it as well since your palate is covered by the retainer, but you should still taste some from your tongue.



Honestly, it depends on where you have it.
On the top, I'd expect it to slip around your mouth more, since its like a plastic substance.
If its on the bottom, then it most likely wont. Just don't move your tongue around, I guess.

But to answer you question, yes. You can suck on them.. it'll just be tricky.



Yes. It will feel slippery on top.
