I got my braces off almost a week ago and got my retainer and everything and it was fine until yesterday. I woke up with and awful sore throat and it almost felt like my throat was closing. My first thought was that I just caught a bug because I get sore throats really easily, and that it may have come off of my retainer. But it didn't really feel completly like a sore throat, my throat kind of felt tighter and like it had been cut up. My throat also was almost fine later in the day, just a little sore. I didn't sleep with it in last night and today I was fine. So my question is, is it possible that I could be allergic to my retainer? Or am I just crazy?

Yes of course you could be allergic to your retainer. Call you dentist immediately.

It's highly unlikely. If you don't wear your retainer, your teeth will move back into their original position which means you would have to have braces all over again.

Well, it is possible, but it is also possible that you simply cut your mouth on it in the middle of the night with out realizing it.

It's possible, you could be allergic to whatever they used to make it.
