Answers:
its normal that your retainers are going to hurt, my gums were swollen when i got my braces off, i drank iced water (or just cold water) so it would somewhat ease the pain.. cold water also works well with retainer since hot water might melt the plastic that retainers are made of.. hope it works for you and that doesnt hurt as much! =)Health Question & Answer
Lucky duck.. I had my orthodontist appointment on Tuesday and was told to come back in 3 weeks, and then PERHAPS I can get my braces off the appointment after.. I suggest cold beverages like smoothies, milkshakes, or iced tea.. The coldness will sort of help to numb your teeth and gums.. also, just try to ignore it.. Watch TV and don't think about it until you can go out and get some Advil.. Enjoy your straightened teeth (:Health Question & Answer
It depends......Is it a holly retainer(removable) or did you go ahead and get the permanent retainer.?
If its the holly, I have some advice.. If its permanent, just try drinking and eating things that require little movement..Health Question & Answer
