Has it been a little while since you wore your retainer consistently?
As long as your retainer doesn’t hurt and still fits over your teeth, you can wear it – even if it feels tight. Your teeth may have slightly shifted, and you may need to wear your retainer longer each day to prevent your teeth from moving.
Try wearing your retainer full-time for a few days to encourage your teeth to move back into their correct positions. If the retainer continues to feel uncomfortable, contact us to determine the next steps.
What if the retainer doesn’t fit at all or feels painful?
Don’t force it. Contact us to evaluate your situation and determine what actions, if any, are needed. It could be as simple as making a new retainer or, if necessary, making some clear aligners to tweak a tooth or teeth back into proper position.

What if My Retainer Doesn’t Fit or Feels Painful?
If your retainer doesn’t fit at all or feels painful, it’s important not to force it onto your teeth. Trying to wear a retainer that doesn’t fit properly could cause damage to your teeth or gums. Instead, contact our office to schedule an appointment so we can evaluate the fit of your retainer and determine the best course of action.
In some cases, adjustments can be made to your existing retainer to improve the fit and comfort. If your retainer is too damaged or worn out, we may need to create a new one for you. Our team of orthodontic experts will work with you to ensure that you have a comfortable and effective retainer to maintain the results of your orthodontic treatment.
