Will I be swallowing bonding material while getting it removed?

If you're very concerned about swallowing what's holding the retainer on, your dentist can place a rubber dam on the teeth prior to removing the material. This way, you would be insured that nothing goes down your throat. I would also recommend having a removable retainer made that you would wear only at night so your teeth wouldn't shift. I hope this helps!

Swallowing bonding material during retainer removal is really not a problem. Your dentist will use a large suction to remove the debris. The bigger problem is that you may experience shifting of your lower teeth when the retainer is removed. I highly discourage you from removing the retainer. Buy a pack of floss threaders to help you floss in these areas or get a waterpick. Your retainer was meant to be a "permanent" fixture.
