Tips for Retainer Wear
Consistency
We recommend starting out wearing your retainer consistently; once you’ve got the hang of it, you can shift to nights only.
Cleanliness
Leave only footprints. Gently brushing between wears can avoid build up and maintain integrity.
Safety
Keep your gear in its proper place. Store your retainer in its case, never a napkin!
Retainer FAQs

Every patient’s retainer plan is a little different, but most people begin with full time wear before transitioning to evenings only. We like to remind patients, “Wear your retainers for as long as you want to keep your teeth straight.” Making retainer wear part of your routine is the best way to protect your new smile for years to come.
What if I forget to wear my retainer?
One or two days is no big deal, you won’t slide down from the summit. But just like endurance training, if you miss a longer period of time your teeth may start to shift back to their earlier state. If this happens and your retainer no longer fits, come see us and we can discuss your options.
How do I clean my retainer?
Use regular hand soap and cool water. Never use toothpaste because it can scratch them and make them cloudy and gross.
What happens if I lose or break my retainer? Can I get a replacement retainer?
We get it, gear breaks or gets lost along the way. Give us a call and we can get you sorted out.
