Is it normal for your teeth to hurt after you get your braces OFF?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

When I got my braces off it didn't hurt, but when I put the retainers on it felt tight and did hurt a bit. But it shouldn't hurt you that much, if it does hurt considerably it probably means your teeth have moved since you got braces off (which is very unlikely considering you only removed them a couple of days ago), and your retainers are correcting your teeth into the position of the mould, so it would hurt. The other possible reason is your retainers are too tight, this can cause discomfort, but not considerable pain.

Speak to a professional and assess it from there, that's the best advice I can give.

Hope you feel better =)

Getting off braces might hurt intially but not so much later. Maybe your retainer is the wrong fit (too activated) and pressing too much on your teeth.
Go back to your dentist and get it checked.

umm a little but not like you just tried to chew a rock bad....but you might not be used to it but maybe you should call your dentist and yea the bottom retainer youll get used to dont worry

Uh, not sure if its supposed to hurt THAT bad, but my best friend had theirs off a few years ago and they were complaining about the annoying pain for a week..
