See orthodontist: Call your orthodontist first, if needed you may referred back to your general dentist for a clinical examination and x-ray of the area.

See: See the Dentist or (hopefully) Orthodontic Specialist who made your retainer. It may just need a simple adjustment. If retainer not the cause, the doctor will be able to diagnose the cause of your pain and direct your treatment.
