Clear Retainer
Hawley Retainer
Lower Bonded Retainer
Wear your retainers 12 hours per day for 6 months, then 8 hours every night thereafter
After 2 years, your retainers should be worn a few times a week to maintain alignment
Remove them to eat or drink anything other than water
Use your fingers to push the retainers into place - do not bite them into place
When taking out your retainers, remove them by pulling with even pressure from the furthest back tooth on both sides - do not pull from the front
Rinse your retainers with water every time you remove them. Use a soft toothbrush but not toothpaste - it is too abrasive
Do not use hot water or expose them to any heat as it may change their shape
Bonded retainers should be flossed daily
If your retainers are not in your face - they are in the case!! They are easy to loose and pets love them - they smell like you!
Let us know as soon as possible if your retainers do not fit properly, become lost or broken.
