- Remove retainers using the BACK claps NOT the front wire. - Brush retainers everyday with SLIGHTLY warm water. You may soak retainers in a denture cleaner (eg. Efferdent) 2 times per week. - DO NOT place retainers in hot water or in a warm place. - DO NOT WRAP retainers in paper (napkin) or place on lunch tray. - Keep retainers away from pets. - Keep retainers in retainer case when not in mouth. - Call us as soon as possible if you lose or break your retainer. SCHEDULE OF WEAR: - First Year - All night (Except for meals & brushing) - Second Year - Night Only - Third Year (and after) - Every other night or at least 2 nights per week. - Swallowing and talking may seem awkward at first. For a few days your mouth may be sore, but the more you wear them - the sooner you will get used to them. GOOD LUCK! |
