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. ..........

Your teeth are getting used to the retainer, most likely. A plastic retainer is somewhat more forgiving than metal braces so your teeth might just be shifting a bit. Keep wearing the retainer according to your dentist's instructions, brush it carefully every day and clean it with a bit of vinegar once a week.
Reply:Your teeth hurt .............. because you have a retainer.
Reply:Its probably the cavities that you have that make your teeth feel tender. Go to the dentist to get those cavities checked.
