Is it possible to be allergic to a retainer?

I think I'm allergic to my fixed retainer?

  • My neck always turns green if I wear a metal necklace, and I've been told this indicates that I have an allergy to nickel. If I'm allergic to nickel, is it possible that I'm also allergic to my fixed retainer, which is likely made of stainless steel, usually made from many metals including chromium and nickel?

  • Answer:

    Yes! This is totally possible. I also have a nickel allergy and I have the same issues as yourself. It is very possible that your retainer could contain it. I suggest making a appt with your orthodontist and having them make a new one
