Retainer Instructions
- Wear your retainers full time, until the doctor instructs
otherwise.
- Take your retainers out when eating, and always put retainers in their
case! (Most appliances are lost in school lunchrooms or restaurants.)
- Clean retainers thoroughly once a day with a toothbrush. Use warm but
not hot water. Brushing retainers removes the plaque, and eliminates
odors.
- When retainers are not in your mouth they should ALWAYS be in a
retainer case. Pets love to chew on them!
- Initially, you may find it difficult to speak. Practice speaking,
reading, or singing out loud to get used to them faster.
- Retainers are breakable, so treat them with care. If retainers are lost
or broken call us immediately.
- If you have any questions or concerns about your retainers, or your
retainers need adjusting, call us. Do not try to adjust them yourself.
- Always bring your retainers to your appointments.
- Remove retainers when swimming.
- Keep retainers away from hot water, hot car dashboards, pockets, the
washing machine, and napkins.
- With proper care, your retainers will last for years! However, if your
retainer is lost or broken there is a replacement fee.
