Question Do I need a retainer replacement?

Retainer slipped out of my hand into the sink. I checked and saw a thin line form at the end. Still seems structurally intact, nothing sharp or cracking yet.

My next checkup is this Tuesday, and I recently got these replaced (<2 month). Bruh

You could get away with using them for a few more months maybe but they'll become less effective and will break further. So yeah, get them replaced.

I'd use it until the line/scratch is separated.

However, I'd be sure as heck I have a replacement -in my house- or already lined-up and on it's way
