Is it okay to wear my clear plastic retainer during the day vs. night?

Question

I recently concluded Invisalign treatment and am now at the point where I only wear a clear retainer at night on my upper teeth. My dilemma is that I will soon start the KOR nighttime whitening at home treatment, which requires me to wear the whitening trays overnight. Given this, is it okay to wear my clear plastic retainer during the day vs. night during the two week period I am undergoing the KoR treatment?

As long as you're wearing the retainer for several hours a day, it really doesn't matter at what time of the day you wear it. It's just easier to wear at night because you don't have to take it out to eat while you're sleeping!

Hello. If you feel good with it during the day you can use it. But immediately you finish the whitening trays continue using your plastic retainer
