What if you forget your retainer for a whole day?

That’s honestly my fear too, like how do you know if it’s just “normal” tight or if your teeth are actually shifting? I’ve skipped a night here and there (life happens) and yeah, the retainer feels way tighter after—kinda freaks me out every time. But usually after wearing it for a few hours, it settles back in. I figure as long as it’s not hurting or impossible to get on, you’re probably fine. Still, I totally get wanting to double check with the ortho just in case... those visits aren’t cheap though, so I try not to stress unless something really feels off.
