My retainer hurts when I take it our....?

Question

Every time I take it out my time retainer it hurts pretty badly, is this normal? (I got my braces off 2 weeks before I got my retainer and I just got it today.)

Answer 1

normal

Answer 2

There is a possibility that your retainer is too small...

Answer 3

you mean your mouth hurt when you took out your retainer?

it should feel a bit uncomfotable the first few minutes but you should get used to it soon.

if your not so sure go ask your orthodontist.

Answer 4

I don't think that you have anything to worry about- your mouth is just soar from the new retainer- just like when you get your braces tightened.  For the first couple of days, try taking an ibuprofen such as advil or an naproxen such as alieve.  This will hopefully make it easier for you to sleep and hopefully help you feel better
