Retainer Instructions

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) Keep away from pets as they love to chew on them!
• Clean the retainer thoroughly once a day with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Use warm but not hot water. Brushing retainers removes the plaque and eliminates odours.
• Retainers are breakable, so treat yours with care. If your retainer gets lost or broken, call us immediately.
• Always bring your retainer to your appointments.
• Retainer replacements are expensive, but with proper care they will last for years!
