RETAINER CARE
Your retainer is the key to maintaining your straight smile—take care of it, and it will take care of you! Follow these simple tips to keep your retainer clean, effective, and long-lasting.
DAILY CARE TIPS
RINSE AFTER EVERY USE
Always rinse your retainer with lukewarm water after taking it out.
BRUSH GENTLY
Use a soft toothbrush (no toothpaste!) to remove buildup.
SOAK WEEKLY
Use a retainer-safe cleaning solution to keep it fresh.
USE LUKEWARM WATER
Hot water can warp and ruin your retainer.
WHAT NOT TO DO
Don’t use hot water to avoid warping
Avoid harsh chemicals such as alcohol-based mouthwashes and bleach
Never wrap it in a napkin – It’s the #1 way retainers get lost.
Don’t leave it out – bacteria and pets love to chew on them!
STORAGE & HANDLING
Always keep your retainer in its case when not in use.
Store it in a cool, dry place (not in a hot car or direct sunlight).
Keep it out of reach from pets.
