WEAR
• The upper retainer should be work as directed by your Orthodontist. Always remove it when brushing your teeth.
• The retainer's plastic taste will disappear quickly, and your speech will return to normal after a few days of wearing the retainer.
• Soreness will leave in a few days, even after an adjustment. If you have a localized sore spot after three or four days, call us for an appointment.
• Don't flip the retainer with your tongue. This could damage both your teeth and the retainer
CARE
• Clean the retainer by brushing it with soap and water and occasionally clean it with denture cleaner, using warm (not hot) water.
• When it's not in your mouth, keep the retainer in a special box given to you. Do not wrap it in paper or store in your pocket.
• Keep the retainer away from pets.
• Bring the retainer to each appointment.
