WHAT TO EXPECT
- These retainers are designed to help guide and hold your teeth in place after orthodontic treatment.
- May feel bulky or snug at first, especially the roof of your mouth & if it's been a while since you've worn it.
- Light soreness or pressure in your teeth is normal for the first few days.
HOW TO WEAR & CARE
- Your orthodontist, will instruct you on the how to best wear your retainer. Usually you will wear the retainer full time for a period of time right after your braces or attachments come off, after that you should wear your retainer every night for life!
- Always store it in its case when not in use (retainers love to disappear into napkins and backpacks!).
- Remove it when eating, brushing, or playing contact sports.
- Clean it gently with cleaning tablets in cool water or an ultrasonic cleaner. Do not use hot water, a toothbrush or tooth paste to clean, as they scratch or warp the material.
- Handle gently! Be careful not to drop it or bend the wire.
WHEN TO ASK FOR HELP
- It becomes painful or won’t seat properly.
- There are cracks, warping, or anything doesn’t feel right.
- If the wire is poking, bent, or broken.
- You notice it no longer fits as it did originally.
