Until I get a new retainer, should I wear the old one that went through the washer and dryer?

Question

It's tight and narrower but it still fits. I called my orthodontist and will wait for their response in the morning.

I agree that you should absolutely not wear the retainers. Call your orthodontist on Monday and get a new set made.

Before you put the old retainer in, have your orthodontist check it.  I would not wear it yet.
