Braces off 3 days ago. Bite feels weird

#1 Post by xBlankZ »

I've been wearing my hawley retainers faithfully and only take it out to brush and eat... though I do take a while doing those two things. I dont think I've ever taken notice of this but the side of my top right lateral incisor seems to be touching my bottom teeth. It makes my bite feel really uncomfortable. Is it possible for my tooth to have shifted or has retainers done something weird to my bite and tooth? Is it possible to still fix this in anyway? I heard that hawley retainers can make slight adjustments to teeth?
