Teeth sore after getting braces off?

So after two years (exactly two years actually haha) I got my braces off yesterday!! But my teeth HURT. I had an appointment Tuesday and they did a lot (changed my wires, fixed a bunch of stuff so they’d be ready for Friday) so of course my teeth were sore and it usually takes about two weeks for my teeth to not hurt a lot/be sore anymore. Well, now that they are off they still feel pretty sore! (I wanted to eat an apple, but I can’t bite into it because they’re still so sore) Also, my clear retainers hurt! Like, I despise wearing them because my teeth ache so bad and the bottom ones push down my two front bottom teeth gums and make them bleed and sore! AND the retainers make me so nausous/gag me. Is this normal? Everyone says your teeth feel great afterwards, but I’m kind of miserable. I still can’t eat a lot of stuff and ugh the retainers are just bad. Could they still be sore from getting them changed prior to getting them off? Thank you!! 🙂

Same thing happened to me, my teeth were sore for about a week after I got my braces off. The retainers hurt really bad for a bit, but then as your teeth mold into their shape, trust me, it gets better after a while. Just keep wearing your retainers when you’re supposed because the longer you leave them out, the more it hurts the first time you have to put them in again. Honestly, it will get better. Good luck!... Show More
Heyy, don’t you worry, because sometimes, that happens. Your teeth are still sore because of the gum. your mouth/ gum is probably not used to it because the teeth are probably still adapting the new guard in your mouth. retainers hurt because your gums or mouth isn’t used to it, take some time, it would probably take 1-2 weeks in getting used to it. and since you said they were tightened before you got the off, the gums are probably still adjusting the teeth… don’t eat anything hard after you get them off! eat something soft, because, as i said, you teeth are still in the “braces” mode, if you know what i mean.. haha, just be patient, oh and remember TO WEAR YOUR RETAINERS AFTER EATING, ( BUT BRUSH YOUR TEETH/RINSE THEM FIRST! LOL) THEN PUT IT BACK ON, CUZ YOUR TEETH CAN BE EASILY SHIFTED AFTER YOUR BRACES ARE OFF.. idon’t know if i’ve helped :S... Show More
You are fine! Your teeth are just adjusting themselves (which is why you need to wear your retainers, they are trying to move back). The pain will go away soon, just take some pain meds or something =)And keep those retainers on or else all of the money and time and pain will just go to waste, and believe me your teeth will move if you don’t wear them. Soon enough you will be able to wear them only at night. I didn’t wear mine as told and my bottom teeth are still shifting (I lost my bottom retainer) and it has been about 2 years since I have had mine off.... Show More
