    Hi Tontage!

    My retainers were made to match my final trays (with a slight adjustment on one tooth), and they felt very tight when I first put them in. That tightness lasted about four days, and now they are still quite snug, but not as much as before. My last set of trays were wobbly-loose compared to the retainers! I suspect there was some stretching of those final trays (I wore the lower tray for almost four months and the upper for one month) - and maybe enough that my teeth needed to be put back into place with the retainer - hence the tightness.

    Either way, your next set of trays should put everything where it needs to be to move ahead!
