thanks for your query, the pain could be because of the retainer if the retainer is active. consult your orthodontist or dental surgeon and get it corrected..slight pain or pulling sensation will be there after wearing retainers. if it is too much then immediately consult your dentist.. i hope my answer will help you take care
