My old one broke, so a week later I finally get my new one. My teeth shifted of course, but the tightness and pain of the new one proves that they're moving back. Except, the retainer doesn't go completely over all my teeth. It makes my bite feel weird, and the my right main back tooth, the...

i love apple and orange juice more than anything in this world. my orthodontist said that ANY liquid besides water is no good for my retainer.
Why? Is it ok to drink juices and stuff that isn't hot, especially if i clean off my retainer daily?
I went to my ortho after loosing my bottom retainer, and she suggested getting a spring retainer to fix a few teeth that moved out of line. Specifically the 4 bottom incisors that are a few millimeters off and on the top one flared incisor and a small gap between the two front incisors. I forgot...
I just got my braces off yesterday and got my retainer and I was just wondering if I can play my trumpet in band with my retainer in or if I should take it out so it doesn't bend at all? Does anybody know? Thanks!
