After you complete your orthodontic treatment, our [dr_type] will provide you with a retainer. This oral appliance is custom-made to fit your teeth and smile perfectly and works to keep your teeth in their newly straightened positions so that you can maintain a beautiful smile. Dr. [doctor_name] uses a state-of-the-art iTero® digital scanner to create your retainer, taking scans of your teeth and mouth, which are kept on record in case your retainer is later damaged or lost. We also offer a new smile warranty during the first year wearing your retainer to help you keep your smile aligned and beautiful. Call [practice_name] today at [phone] to find out more and schedule an appointment!
Retainer Instructions
When you receive your retainer, our [dr_type] and team will provide you with instructions on how to wear and take care of it. We recommend that you:
- Wear your retainer at all times unless instructed otherwise by our [dr_type].
- Take your retainer out when eating.
- Clean your retainer daily with a toothbrush and toothpaste.
- Keep your retainer in a case when not wearing it (such as when eating) to prevent pets from chewing on it or other accidents from occurring.
- Practice speaking, reading or singing out loud to get used to wearing your retainer and adjust to speaking with it in your mouth.
- Your retainer is breakable, so treat it with care and call us immediately if your retainer is broken or lost.
- Bring your retainer to us if it needs adjustments. Do not try to adjust it yourself.
- Always bring your retainer to your appointments.
- Remove your retainer if you go swimming.
- Keep your retainer away from hot water, hot car dashboards, the washing machine, napkins and pockets.
