Retainers pushing on bottom gum
I had my braces off, I got my retainers but the ends are digging into the back of my gum on my bottom teeth. I’ve noticed now that there is like a little line like a slit on the gum and it looks like it’s about to open. The area feels hard when you press on it. Could the retainers pushing on my gum cause my wisdom to start coming out? I have all 4 wisdom teeth as shown from my X-ray which are all impacted. The area is very sore when I put my bottom plates in.
