Retainer/Wisdom teeth question?

Question

So I noticed today that my bottom teeth are a little shifted (one tooth is coming forward) , so I'm doing to try and pop my retainer in for a while to get them back to how they used to be. Also, I just got my wisdom teeth taken out Friday at noon. Do you think its ok for me to put in my retainer while my wisdom teeth are still healing? If not, how long should I wait before I use the retainer?

Answer 1

OMG I got my wisdom teeth taken out on Thursday and was having the exact same problem. I put my retainer back in on Sunday because I noticed my teeth were shifting. It should be fine to put your retainer in but take some pain killers before hand because it may hurt when your teeth shift back into place.
