ORTHODONITCS : How to Care for and Wear your Retainers


Most retainers are removable, meaning that you take them out when eating, brushing and flossing. For this reason, they are easy to misplace.

Many people wrap their retainers in a napkin when eating, then forget about them afterwards and have to spend hundreds of dollars on a new retainer.

A good solution is to always carry your retainer case with you and to use it whenever you're not wearing your retainer.

For added protection, never leave the case on a table or a bench — always put it immediately in your backpack, purse or pocket.
