Does anyone else drool because of Essix retainers? I wear them only at night and every time I go to bed I start drooling just before falling asleep and it always wakes me up.
It's been ~90 days since I was debraced and it's been like this since the beginning. Does it stop at some point? I am already having trouble sleeping as it is and I never had this problem with braces.

Re: Essix and drooling
Hey! So I've been wearing upper and lower essix retainers for 21 months and the experience you're describing still happens to me occasionally, but not too often ( only using essix at night now though). It's annoying yes, but I guess the saliva just runs over the plastic like a slide...
On a different note, one thing I will say is to keep regularly cleaning your essix, I feel the essix wear traps bacteria and old saliva and has caused mild decay in the bicuspids and molars for me.
Good luck!
