Retainer Instructions

*Wear your retainer at all times, until the doctor instructs otherwise.

*Take your retainer out when eating, and always put it back in its case! (Most appliances are lost in school lunchrooms or restaurants.)

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

*When your retainer is not in your mouth, it should ALWAYS be in its 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 it faster.

*Retainers are breakable, so treat yours with care. If your retainer gets lost or broken, call us immediately.
