I just got my braces off last week..and I received my retainer (It's the metal/wire kind)..besides gagging, is the wire suppose to be poking you in between your teeth? Is it suppose to hurt? Help!
sweetjewel answered Sunday December 18 2005, 8:49 pm: it might hurt a little bit because of the pressure but you just have to get used to it. eventually your retained will losen up a little bit and then your orthodontest will tighten it so its back to being tight but it has to be that way to make sure your teeth dont move out of place [ sweetjewel's advice column | Ask sweetjewel A Question ]

If your orthadontist carries it (he should) ask for wax. If he has it, he will know what it is. It'll soothe your mouth, gauranteed. To numb it, or make it feel better, try drinking cold liquids.

funkymunky817 answered Sunday December 18 2005, 6:40 pm: I'm really not sure if its supposed to hurt, I mean mine did when I put it in but then stopped after a while. But I do know that it is not supposed to be poking you. I suggest you take it back and get it trimmed or whatever they do.
