I have a retainer....why do my back teeth hurt?

I have a retainer....why do my back teeth hurt?


Here's the deal......I got my braces off a month ago and have been to the dentist one time and all they did was tell me about the cavities I had. But everything else looked fine they told me......what I forgot to ask them about was why when I chew steak or any type of meat, my back teeth, usually on the top, and those only, makes that area feel tender and sore?





Anyone know why? Is this common, or my teeth getting used to the retainer or not having braces? Again, it has been about a month, but I do wear my retainer all the time except for 2 hours a day. Is that my teeth moving, because I just went in for a cleaning last week and they told me my teeth are still where they should be. ..........

I have braces, but b4 that ihad a retainer. I just want to say that if it duznt get better by like, December i would say somthing to someone. Its more thanlikly just becuase u got ur braces off, and the caps on the back teeth worked well, without them, your teeth need to build back up for protection. Im getting mine off soon, so im excpecting some pain....
Reply:Your teeth just may be senstive. It's not the retainer. Your teeth don't need to get use to the retainer..its made so its fits your teeth and keeps them align. I'd try maybe toothpaste made for senstive teeth.
Reply:Your teeth are just sentsitive
Reply:It could be the pressure on the teeth with cavities.
