Retainer Mold: Gagging? Puking?!


Question: Retainer Mold: Gagging? Puking?
Do you Gag or puke when u get ur retainer mold? Personal experiences please? Getting my braces off little less than a year.
Never had the mold before.
Really nervous :(

Answers:

No, I don't gag or puke when they take the impression of my teeth. You can try these tricks.

Drink a glass of cold water before the mold. You can bring a thermos as the clinic might not have cold water available. When they take your mold, bend your head downwards and breath through your nose.

Remember to relax and try not to think about the gagging and think of puking. Think of your crush, puppies or a happy thought. Distract yourself.

Don't worry! Good luck!



Oh golly.you are making me nervous now, i thought getting the braces on and all the adjustments in between, was the worst part. I have a very low gag threshold , but according to my orthodontist (and i trust him) it is no worse than when you first got your impression for braces.
Must admit, i did not particularly like that experience, but can live with it again :)
Look to the end result :) (mine due off in 6 months)

the first time i had the mould.. for the brace.. it wasnt too bad although i did have a strong urge to gag. however the last time (for the retainer) was really bad i gagged like 10 times while it was in... and you cant take it out till its set so theres no getting out of it... but you need to concentrate on something and stare at it and BREATHE THROUGH YOUR NOSE << most important bit. if you breathe through your mouth you WILL gag

got braces of a few months ago
