Call your dentist: Discuss this issue with the dentist who made the retainer. It may require nothing more than a simple adjustment.

Go see an Orthodonti: Unusual issue......You should go see your orthodontist for a look. Most times, when gums are sore, they need more brushing. You might try this as well.
