Braces off, Waiting on retainer, Question!

#1 Post by Scott19 »

So i just got my braces off yesterday :D but just have a quick question, i have to wait about 4 days for my retainer to be finished and was wondering, is it normal for my bite to already feel different than yesterday when i got them off?

It still looks the same, it just feels a little off :? im sure the retainer will make them feel like they did yesterday when i got them off, just wondering if anyone else noticed this? Thanks

I reckon its normal.

I didnt wear my retainers for one whole day, and when i put them back in, everything felt different. By overnight, the bite felt normal again.
