Dropped retainers

[hare]

I accidentally dropped my plastic retainer case containing clear retainers (like the below) several feet onto a hard floor. Loud smack, the case lid opened but the retainers did not fall out. I'm wondering whether the pressure from the fall could have damaged the retainers? I put the retainers on my teeth afterwards and they fit snugly as usual, but I'm not sure whether that means they were not misshapen to any degree by the impact. When it comes to clear retainers hitting something, how much would it take to damage them? And are clear retainer breakages/deformities always immediately noticeable or can they go by unnoticed? I spent a lot of money and time on realigning my teeth so I want to make sure I'm not now misshaping them with disfigured retainers!

I can't imagine you will have done any damage by dropping them. And if you had, I'm sure you would be able to see the damage or feel the retainers not fitting properly.

Those are so light I doubt they would break by falling. The biggest concern is to not just grab it by the molar sections. Now a Hawley I would not want to drop.
