Some orthos do this; mine told me to wear my retainers nights only from the time I was de-banded. Pay attention to any movement you have when you cut back to nights only and consult your ortho about wearing them more. For me, my retainers feel a little tight when they go in, and then feel fine less than five minutes later.
