Teeth are sore after removing clear retainer in the morning

If you have finished with your orthodontic treatment and are wearing retainers (or will be soon), this is a special place to connect with others in your (enviable) situation. Ask a question or make a comment about life post-braces.

Teeth are sore after removing clear retainer in the morning

#1 Post by Zipp »

I just finished my Invisalign treatment :D

I had 12 lower trays and 15 upper trays. Once I was finished with the uppers, my ortho had me wear them full time for an additional four weeks before going to nighttime wear. They took a mold of my teeth and gave me a set of clear retainers. I basically have two sets of retainers - my last invisalign trays and the new ones my ortho made.

This is only day 2 with the new retainer trays, but they fit very tight, and when I wake up in the morning my teeth are pretty sore. Is this normal? If they are still sore in 2-3 weeks should I have them take new impressions? Thanks in advance.
