Got my braces off, jaw is uncomfortable

Question

Asked for Female, 22 Years

I got braces for the 2nd time in Feb 2019 for correcting a relapse and they were removed last Saturday, on 18th December. My retainers are supposed to come in tomorrow, 25th December. However, my lower jaw feels uncomfortable and just doesn't feel right. I'm attaching pictures of how my teeth look now, kindly advise on what I can bring up to my ortho since I plan to visit him as soon as possible. Do they look alright? If not, can retainers make my jaw feel better?
