No retainers should be removed when eating to allow the teeth to function properly. It is only for a short while anyway.

As an Orthodontic assistant I am here to let you know that you should not wear your retainer while eating as they break easily if you are eating something hard.

no......remove them if you are about to eat something hard...keep them in a proper place.....not in a napkin.
