Just got braces off...should the retainer hurt my teeth?

Question

I just got my braces taken off this morning and I got a retainer. Later in the day, I realized my teeth started to hurt (especially my cuspid (canine)). Do you think that tooth will shift at all? Or, is it normal to feel some pain the first day/week I have the retainer?

Thank you.

Answer 1

it is totally normal...after you having your braces on for a while then getting them off they will tend to be soar when you eat or put the retainer in.the retainer has to be tight so get all your teeth shifted in the right place.ive had braces so i understand.

Answer 2

i think its normal, but if you are concerned, talk to your ortho.

I haven't got mine off yet, but i heard your teeth kinda hurt a  little after you get them off.

Just keep wearing your retainer, and talk to your ortho
