Sinus pressure caused by retainers?

#1 Post by Zoie51 »

I got my braces off three weeks ago and have been wearing my retainers faithfully with no problem. Last night I woke up with pain on the right side of my face. It felt like sinus pain, but it was a pain I have never had before. Hope it's not my retainers because I don't want my teeth to move! I'm 61 and wore braces for 15 months and went through a lot.

i got sinus pain whenever i had my braces adjusted, which would gradually subside. pain that comes on suddenly when you haven't had any change to your retainers doesn't sound related to them.
