Is it normal for my teeth to be loose after wearing a retainer?

November 8, 2013

I have been on and off with my retainers ever since I got them about 4 years ago. I just put them in last night after not wearing them for a month and they were extremely tight. When I took them out this morning, I could feel that the majority of my lower teeth were loose. Is this normal? Will they go back to where they were supposed to be and stop being loose?
