Retainer Care 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).Clean the retainer thoroughly at least twice a day with a toothbrush. Use toothpaste and room temperature water. Efferdent or other orthodontic appliance cleaners can be used as well. (Do not soak over nite)

  • When your retainer is not in your mouth, it should ALWAYS be in its case and out of reach of pets. Pets love to chew on them!
