Wear your retainer all day and night, until Dr. Marks instructs otherwise.
When your retainer is not in your face it should be in the case! (Too many times people wrap them in a tissue and throw them away.)
Clean the retainer thoroughly with a toothbrush and toothpaste and warm water (but not hot). Occasionally effervescent denture cleaners can be used in addition.
Retainers are breakable, so treat yours with care. If your retainer gets lost or broken, call us immediately.
If you have any questions or concerns about your retainer, or you believe it needs adjusting, call us. Do not try to adjust it yourself.
Retainer replacements are expensive, but with proper care they will last for years!
