    Canine hitting premolar when retainer taken off

    I got my braces off 2 months ago and have had a couple issue with my teeth.

    The biggest problem is that after wearing my retainer at night, my right upper canine hits my bottom first premolar. By the end of the day there is less pressure on the from the teeth moving away from each other. Unfortunately the next day it is the same thing all over again. This is very annoying. I am schedulinig an appointment with my ortho.

    Has anyone else had this problem? Can they adjust the retainer, or will they need to trim my tooth?

    Also, my lateral inscisor has moved up and look shorter after a couple months.

    Any advice?

    probably need to trim that tooth.... I would schedule an early am appointment so the ortho can see whats going on...

    Pretty easy fix though if it is a slight touch...
