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.

WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR RETAINER

Even with proper care, all retainers wear out over time!

Watch for these signs:

CRACKS, SPLITS, OR ROUGH EDGES
