Why You Need to Replace Your Retainer Annually
HYGIENE
Retainers can accumulate bacteria and biofilm over time. A fresh retainer minimizes health risks. |
PRESERVING YOUR RESULTS
You’ve invested time and resources in your orthodontic treatment. Annual replacements help protect that investment and maintain your smile. |
EFFECTIVENESS
Retainers lose shape and can become loose, compromising their ability to keep your teeth aligned. Regular replacements ensure a proper fit. |
