I have lost my bottom retainer and my top retainer is cracking, what should I do?

Q.

Hi, I had the treatment for a gap in my two top front teeth however the orthodontist tidied up my bottom teeth too (these were not really the problem) however I lost the retainer for the bottom set and I am just worrying that when I wear the top one’s at night I am ruining them with my teeth as they are cracking where my bottom teeth touch them. Is this usual for people to experience or do you have patients that only have treatment for the top / lower teeth? I cannot afford to replace my lower retainer and my teeth have moved already. What is the normal course of action for this? Many Thanks

Q.
I have lost my retainer. Will I need to pay to get a new one or will my dentist offer a free one on this occasion? What is the situation with these retainers for future reference please? Thanks.,
