Do you eat 🐱 with your retainers on?

[Sammy]

Serious question here—if you’re doing that, do you have to clean your retainers after? I feel like maybe not, but I’m not sure.

Okay, this is a wild question, but I love it. Honestly, I wouldn’t risk keeping them in. I’d be too paranoid about them getting gross, and let’s be real, retainers aren’t cheap to replace. Better safe than sorry, right?

[Grant]

I’ve actually wondered this myself! I usually take mine out beforehand because I feel like it’d just be weird to keep them in. Plus, yeah, cleaning them afterward seems like a hassle.

Bro, I’m dying at this question, but honestly, I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave them in. Even if you don’t think they’ll get dirty, it’s just… I don’t know, feels wrong. I’d just take them out and rinse them after, just in case.

[Kenneth]

I leave mine in, but I make sure to rinse them afterward. I figure they’re not really touching anything directly, but still, better to be on the safe side. Plus, I’d feel weird not cleaning them at least a little.
