A few weeks the most
It shouldn’t be more than slight discomfort for couple of days. You should call your dentist because it might need some adjustments
I assume you mean an orthodontic retainer. I haven't heard of anyone having pain from a retainer placed after they're done with braces. Speak with your orthodontist.
Usually one or two days.
A few days until your teeth adjust. If longer, check with your dentist.
I would recommend that you are evaluated to determine why you are experiencing the discomfort.

Thank you,
