You gotta wear it for longer period especially when you just took your braces off. Cuz once the pressure is off, your teeth starts moving. That is why u need to put on the retainers to maintain the shape.

The reason why you find it difficult to put your upper retainers on could be due to the fact tht your jaw structure has moved. Normally suggested by the doctor you wear your retainers on for 24hrs until the movement becomes stable.

Suggest you go to your doctor and tell him your problem. He will adjust it for you and you should be fine. But make sure u wear it all the time for the first 2 months.
