    Got my retainers today, need advice

    Hello there
    I got my retainers today, and I don't think the top one fits too well !
    When I push the retainer in, there is a small gap between the bottom of the two front teeth, and the bottom of the retainer - when I push that part up, the retainer seems to then hang off the tooth that is in the upper left hand side of my mouth ( my left ) . Is this normal, and will it eventually stay around the tooth ???

    Ryan give your ortho's office a call and talk to them about how your retainers feel.

    Good luck with adjusting to your future with retainers!
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!
