Uneven teeth after having retainers?

February 15, 2015
Asked By:TheFLacked in Los Angeles, CA

I got my retainers Thursday, 2/12/15, and I've been wearing them all the time just like the doctor told me. But, the morning after I got my retainers I noticed that my teeth on the bottom AND top seem to be uneven (one tooth is longer than the other on both the bottom and top)... Is that normal? should I have my mom call the orthodontist?
