Hi i’m 17 and i’ve had bad health anxiety and OCD for the last 3 years. Recently i’ve been having trouble with my plastic retainers as it has some holes in and i worry that i swallow these pieces at night and that it could scratch my insides and i could die. This has stopped me wearing my retainers and now i worry my teeth are going back to wonky even though i have work my retainers for like a year and a half now. How do i get over this

Hello bill,
Would an option be to call the dentist and tell them about the holes and ask if it is safe to continue using it?
Best wishes.
