Okay it's been two weeks after my graft and my stitches haven't come out.
Neal Nealis, DDS (retired) says:

Two weeks to still have soreness isn't necessarily unusual. It would be best to have the surgeon take a look to be sure all is healing well, and that there isn't an infection.

Should I still be in pain two weeks after a tooth extraction and bone graft?
Amber Garcia, DDS says:

You had a body part removed. That can take 6-8 weeks to fully heal. If you had a toe cut off, you would expect it to still be uncomfortable 2 weeks later. If you don't have any infection, all you can do is control the pain and let it heal. Feel better soon!

Can I wear my cosmetic retainer after bone graft surgery?
Amber Garcia, DDS says:

As long as the retainer doesn't put any pressure on the grafted area, you should be fine to wear it. For the graft to heal properly, you can't put any pressure on the area for several months.
