Wearing Retainer after Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Hi there,

I had my wisdom teeth taken out about 5 days ago, and I have yet to wear my retainer since then. Usually I wear it every night, but since the extraction I was worried the wires may affect the healing process. When can I start wearing my retainer again? And will my not wearing it for this long cause a shift in my teeth??

(I had braces 3-4 years ago).
Thanks.

Wear your retainer again as soon as it is comfortable to do so.

wait untill the swelling goes down... it coulld irritate and can hurt where ur wisdom teeth were removed. teeth dont really move much so u will be ok with a few days without retainers.
