Wearing your retainer as directed is the key to keeping your smile straight for the long haul. A little care goes a long way, here are 3 tips for retainer wear!
Follow Dr. Paul’s instructions. Most patients start with full-time wear before transitioning to nights only.
Rinse your retainer daily and gently brush it to prevent buildup. Avoid hot water, which can warp the material.
Always use a retainer case when it's not in your mouth. Never wrap it in a napkin or toss it in your bag!
Most patients wear their retainer full-time for the first few months, then switch to nights only—but it varies by smile! Dr. Paul will give you a personalized plan.
Teeth can start shifting quickly without a retainer. If you skip a few days, pop it back in and call us if it feels too tight.
Gently brush it daily with cool water and a toothbrush—no toothpaste needed! For a deeper clean, use a retainer-safe cleanser.
Absolutely! Just give us a call. We’ll help you get a replacement so you can keep your smile right where it should be.
