Retainer care

Caring for retainers

After you get your braces off, it may feel like you’ve finished a vital part of your dental care journey. This is true, but a new journey has also just started — maintaining that exceptional smile.

Retainers are instrumental in keeping your teeth in line and preventing any shifting. Taking care of your retainer will help you keep your smile as you want and avoid further complications.

How to clean removable retainers

Removable retainers are very common and make cleaning a bit easier. You have the ability to take them out and clean them when you want. Take advantage of this ability and clean your retainer after meals and after you’ve worn it. You can gently scrub your retainer with a recommended cleaning solution and a toothbrush or soak your retainer in a cup of lukewarm water.

Cleaning your retainer is crucial when it comes to oral hygiene. When you’re not wearing your retainer, it can collect dust and other contaminants. Regular cleanings ensure you’ve made it as safe as possible for your dental health.
