After 4 months of non-wear, I decided to be good and put my retainers back on. The fit was extremely tight!! In one day, two of my upper molars became loose, and it is so painful to put the retainers back on after eating.
Should I take them off asap, and call an orthodontist ?(mine has retired from practice).
Or, Should I stick it out? Will the pain subside and things return to "normal" after a while? I would hate to take them off now just have to through this pain all over again (after getting the ok from an ortho) and /or lose any progress I may have made in the last day.
My retainers are causing pain and loose teeth!!?
yes keep wearing them... it will hurt for a little while, just like when you first started wearing rubber bands... as for the loosness, that just means that your teeth are shifting back to the shape of you retainer. this should go away in a couple of weeks, BUT ONLY IF YOU WEAR IT RELIGIOUSLY. Good Luck

Reply:You need to see an orthodontist before you even think of putting your retainer back in. If you do not wear something consistently always have it checked before you start wearing it again to be sure it fits properly. Your teeth have obviously shifted again already so your retainer no longer fits properly. See an orthodontist and get this checked out.
Reply:Your teeth are not loose. They just feel that way. They'll adjust after awhile.
Reply:I have to wear my retainer from time to time to make sure my teeth don't move too far. This happens to me as well. If you stick it out you teeth will move back and become stable again. Try to stick it out if it still hurts too much you may have to have your retainer refit but I think you'll be fine.
