What is a Retainer ?
A clear retainer is a thin, transparent plate made of plastic that looks similar to a clear aligner or mouthguard. The purpose of the retainer is to discreetly help your teeth keep their post-treatment positions. These retainers are barely noticeable during wear. You can also remove them to eat or clean your teeth. For best results, retainers are to be worn 24 hours a day for the first 6 months. We recommend you wear your retainer for about 12-14 hours a day to ensure proper tooth retention.
How to use and care for your clear retainer?
It is your responsibility to wear your retainer enough to ensure the retainer stays comfortable. If the clear retainer is excessively tight when first put in each night and does not become comfortable soon afterwards, then it should be worn more than 12 – 14 hours a day.
It is important to keep your retainer out of warm or sunny places because the plastic can melt or distort. Usually it is advised you to take your retainers out to eat. For the same reason, you should avoid drinking hot beverages while wearing your clear retainer. When you are not wearing your retainer, you should keep it in the provided plastic container to minimize the risk of it being lost or broken.
To clean your clear retainer, simply brush it gently with your toothbrush & toothpaste. Do not boil, soak or vigorously brush your retainer.
