Retainer Usage
I recently got my braces removed and now I have this lovely retainer (top and bottom). I was wondering... is there any way I can inadvertently mess anything up? As far as I can tell, the retainers just snap right in, so it's really not possible to put them in wrong, is it?
Also... the bottom retainer has a crazy plastic piece similar to my front teeth. But when I bite down, the plastic piece gets pushed down, exposing quite a bit of the top of my bottom front teeth. Does this matter at all? Or even make sense to anybody.
I'm probably just being paranoid, but reassurance is good. Thanks!

They sound perfectly fine to me. I'm sure your Orthodontist checked them to make sure. Just as long as you wear them as much as your Orthodontist says you should, you'll have no problems. When I had retainers I lost one once. It took a week or so to get back to my Orthodontist and get a new one made and by that time my teeth had moved back a bit. They didn't have the old mold so they couldn't make a retainer the same as the one I had lost. My teeth are not as good as they could have been. This was my fault for not going back right away. I'm telling you this story because I didn't realize the importance of wearing my retainers and I want you to. Sometimes just 2 days can make a huge difference. Good luck. :)
