Should I wear my retainer during my nose job?

Asked By:agt.euro in Sterling Heights, MI

I got my braces off about eight months ago and have to wear a metal retainer at night. Do you recommend me wearing it during the surgery to prevent my teeth from moving or will my septorhinoplasty not affect my mouth/teeth?
