Top bonded retainers messing up bite, causing jaw pain

May 26, 2018
Asked By:chelcie4 in Covington, GA

So I recently got a bonded retainer on the top two teeth to close a gap that opened up after a got a dental cleaning, but know my bite is off, and I’m having jaw pain along with headaches. What should I do? Should I worry or should I wait to see if my bite will adjust.
