RETAINERS

Retainers

Once the teeth are moved into their correct position, the braces are removed. The next step is called retention. Retainers are utilized to hold the teeth in the desired position. Retainers must be worn as instructed, or the teeth WILL move back toward their original positions.

Remember; wear them in your mouth, not in your pocket. Retainers work when you follow our instructions.

Clean your retainers! After meals, clean all parts of the retainer with a brush.

Handle your retainers with care. Retainers are easy to lose. If you take your retainers out, always place them in your retainer case for safety.
