How long after getting a retainer does it hurt your teeth? Or does it hurt the entire time you have them?

I just got a retainer yesterday and it hurts like crazy when i take it off or put it on. my teeth also hurt when i eat and brush and floss. will i be in pain the entire time i have to wear this thing?

Don't worry the pain goes away within a couple of days. Try to eat soft foods and brush gently. Warm and cold foods helped me ALOT! Before you know it you won't even remember the pain.
Reply:It only hurts at first. Is it removable? Because then you take it out to eat.
Reply:You take it off when you brush and eat, y'know.





It'll hurt for a few days, but when you take it off, put your fingers down on the little hooks (top part) and push straight down.
Reply:No. I have a retainer, and after a couple of days or so, your teeth are going to get used to the retainer and fit its shape. Soon all you'll have to do is slip it on, you won't feel a thing in no time.
Reply:i had the same problem but dont worry it only hurts for a couple of days but thats if you wear them all of the time. If you do then your teeth will get used to it and the pain will go away.


just wear your retainers!





its been a month now and my teeth dont hurt anymore with my retainers on :]
