Asked By:Mollysauce

I had my first surgery for my implant a little over a week ago. I have a retainer from my orthodontist with a tooth on it to use until I get my permanent tooth. But when I wear my retainer it makes my implant hurt very bad.. Like its extremely painful. Wondering if it is my retainer or something is wrong with my implant?
