The pain of the retainers after the braces have been taken off
Wearing retainers after the braces have been taken off is the very important part of the straightening of teeth since it gives finishing touch for the alignment of the teeth.
Retainers are made to fit the straightened teeth by the braces.So the dentists will usually advice their patients to always wear the retainers at least for the next few months
In most of the cases there will be pain for the teeth initially since the teeth have to adjust to the shape of the retainers.The first 2-4 weeks are the most important time to wear the retainers.
There are so many reported cases that one again had to wear the teeth braces because of not wearing retainers regularly and this will also depends on the severity of the teeth movement post braces.
The retainer pain will go away as your teeth get adjusted to them.So it is much better to wear the braces without removing since the pain usually last only for a few days.
