My retainer hurts very bad.?

Question

Ouch!

I got my clear plastic retainer that I wear every night a few weeks ago.

I left for vacation the dy after I left, And I forgot it. So I went a week without it.

And I'm afraid that my mouth grew slightly and the retainer is causing me LARGE amounts of pain because of it.

Since I cant get a new one, (since I'm on another vacation) any ideas on how to maybe reduce the pain?

Answer 1

Pain killers...after a few nights of wearing your retainer again your teeth will shift to fit it and the pain will stop

Answer 2

At least the retainer's doing it's job! lol.  tylonol maybe?

Answer 3

pain medicine.

Answer 4

Tylenol or advil. Make sure you keep wearing it - once your teeth shift back it won't hurt anymore.
