The retention period is an important part of your overall treatment and should not be neglected!

Wear your retainers full time, until the doctor instructs otherwise.

Handle your retainers with care. Retainers are easy to lose. If you take your retainers out, always place them in your retainer case for safety

Clean retainers thoroughly once a day with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Use warm but not hot water. Brushing retainers removes the plaque, and eliminates odors. Efferdent or other orthodontic appliance cleaners can be used, but do not take the place of brushing

Retainers are breakable, so treat them with care. If retainers are lost or broken call us immediately

Always bring your retainers to your appointments

Retainer replacement is expensive…with proper care they will last for years!

Keep retainers away from hot water, hot car dashboards, pockets, the washing machine, and napkins
