How often should I wear my retainer?
Retainers should be worn full-time to stabilize teeth for the first few months after braces. Over time, your dentist may recommend wearing them only at night. Regular use is crucial to maintaining orthodontic results.
-
How do I clean my retainer?
For optimal retainer dental care, clean your retainer daily using a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the material. Use a retainer-safe solution or gentle denture cleaner for deeper cleaning to keep it fresh and bacteria-free.

Can I replace my retainer if it’s lost or damaged?
Yes, if your retainer is lost or damaged, contact your dentist as soon as possible. They can create a replacement to prevent your teeth from shifting. Delaying replacement may impact the effectiveness of your orthodontic treatment.
