Retainer Problem.........please help!!!!?!


Question: Retainer Problem.........please help!!!!?
I've had my braces off since 7th grade. I am a freshman currently now. I have had my retainer since getting my braces off. For the first few years I have had to wear it all day and only take it out when eating or brushing my teeth. Now I am just wearing it at night and i have noticed that in the morning when i take it out my upper teeth hurt like heck. I mean it is severe pain! They kinda hurt a little when i sleep but the worse pain is when i wake up. Im not sure what is causing this pain but i want it to stop!!!!

Answers:

That's totally normal.

Your retainer is supposed to be tight so it can firmly hold your teeth in place. Since you cut back the amount of time wearing it, when you finally put it on, it's going to pinch quite a bit.

But it's supposed to be like that :)



Go back to wearing it more during the day. Your teeth could be sore because they have moved slightly. You just may not be able to notice it. Hopefully that will solve the soreness.



go back to wearing your retainer during the day, too.
