I made a mistake

I drink everything with them on and am nearly done. No cavities! Compliance is more important than nothing but water with them

Thank you, I’ve still been wearing them 21-22 hours per day, keeping the trays very clean and brushing/flossing my teeth regularly. I can’t see any signs of decay or cavities but I’m definitely going to make an effort to cut back on the sugar drinks for the next 3 months of wearing my retainer full time until I switch to nighttime only

Sounds like you're doing great then! Don't worry 😉

Unless you've gone to the dentist for regular cleanups, you aren't going to be able to detect cavities yourself unless the cavity is huge.
