A member asked:

Can retainers cause a headache? i wore my retainer for first time in a month, my teeth are now straight again & hurt & now have headache

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absolutely: When retainers are not worn regularly teeth will shift. Forcing them back in may straighten teeth temporarily, causing transient pain. Repetitive erratic retainer wear will actually cause bone damage. Please see your Orthodontic specialist, or the General Dentist who straightened your teeth, for reevaluation.

I had braces when I was 10. I am now 24. I got a new retainer 3 years ago but have not worn it in a year. Now when I wear it even for 30 minutes my teeth hurt. How often should I wear my retainer to get my teeth used to it again?

A member asked:

How long will a hawley retainer take to close a very slim gap? Plastic retainer broke and over time tension between front teeth loosened. Now have a Hawley so how long would wearing it 24/7 take to put the tension back?
