My daughter was prescribed a retainer to wear at night to straighten her teeth. I have no idea how that's even possible. It falls out anyway when she sleeps, and now her nose is stuffy. She can only wear it for a couple of hours total during the day, and she says it's uncomfortable.

Then it was done wrong; it shouldn't fall out. I have to pull it off with effort. Or she's putting it on incorrectly. And the nose part doesn't affect it at all.

It can only fall out if it wasn't made correctly. Or, as an alternative, if you're not putting it on all the way. I sleep in night guards myself, and it's impossible to lose them – you have to put in effort to take them off.

How can it fall out? It fits so snugly on the teeth. Mine makes a distinct clicking sound when I put it on and take it off with some effort.

So it was made incorrectly (not from the mold) or she's putting it on wrong. My daughter wears 2 retainers at night, and they work great. There's a distinct click when you put them on, and they suction to her teeth.

My son couldn't wear it either.
You need to get a plate made, a kappa is useless.

Put the disc on. It's a bit awkward and unusual, but nothing falls off.

It should be a total of 2 hours a day, like inserting it for 15 minutes once every hour. It's tough, I agree. My son used it until he was almost 2, and he'd spit it out after 10 minutes at night. I can't imagine sleeping like that. Constant supervision during the day, especially during the school year, you'd call and ask: 'Did you put it in?' I thought I was going crazy.

Yes, the aligners can be uncomfortable, but treatment is rarely comfortable. Regarding what's falling out, see your doctor. Something might need to be done. My son wore aligners for a long time. He wasn't thrilled with them either.

Elena My son just has a silicone mouthguard, with no straps like boxers wear. It's to help hold his bite in place. He wore it during the day and tried to wear it at night, but he spit it out.

Kristina My son just has a silicone mouthguard, with no fixations, like boxers wear. It's to hold his bite in place. He wore it during the day and tried to use it at night, but he spat it out. Maybe the original poster's child has the same kind.

It's definitely uncomfortable because she's moving her teeth. But for the sake of health, you can endure it. If not aligners, then braces can be used in the future, but that's much more expensive and the feeling isn't great either, plus hygiene is more thorough.

She's been wearing it like this for about 5 years, she's getting used to it.
