Retainer Feels Tight? Help Me Out Here,?

396545381 I got my braces off about a month or two ago. And I have my retainer, well they told me to only wear it at nighttime.
So at first, it felt fine. All was going good.
Until one night a few weeks ago I accidentally fell asleep without it and I woke up that morning and hurried up to put it in.
And when I wore it for a while it got loose again and I thought it would be alright.
Now, at night when I go to put it in it feels kinda tight. Not too tight to where it doesn't fit, just that it feels uncomfortable. Like when I would have my braces tightened. And after a while it goes away and then that following night I have to repeat that.
But the orthodontist said I only have to wear it at night. Should I try wearing it all day for a few days to try and see if that helps it? Just wondering.
Thanks.

  1. Master of Disaster - you have to make sure you wear it every night, or what ever your orthodontist told you to. skipping even a day will make them feel tight when you put it on becuz your teeth is constantly shifting.

    Personal experience....make sure you wear them!

  2. Justin Kery - My advice... Wear it about 3 times a week. And no... Your tooth won't come out :)
    Just wear them three times a week usually and you'll be fine.
