My tooth in the back part of my mouth has chipped and I have to wear retainers too. Can I still wear my retainer until fixed?

Question

You should see your dentist as soon as possible.  If the retainer does not bother you when wearing over the chipped tooth then typically it is fine to continue wearing your retainer.

Hi, thanks for sending your question. I recommend for you to have your dentist evaluate the chip as soon as you can. In the meanwhile you may continue to wear the retainer as long as it still fits over the area comfortably.  All the best.

Depending on the size of the chip and the type of retainer they most likely will still fit. However, once the chip is repaired make sure to bring the retainer with you to the dentist so they can make sure it fits. If not the retainer may need to be remade.
