Taking Care Of Your Teeth
If you’ve ever had a retainer, you surely know how important it is to take care of it. If you keep your retainer in good shape, it will keep doing its job for the rest of your life. After braces or Invisalign have moved your teeth into the perfect position, a retainer helps your teeth maintain that position. Teeth naturally shift over time, and if you’re not careful, you could lose all the benefits of your orthodontic work. After regular use, your retainer may start to get dirty. That’s why it’s important to clean it on a regular basis. Wash it twice a day, once when you wake up and once before you go to bed. It may also help to bathe it in denture cleaner occasionally.
Of course, there are several different types of retainers. The most common type is the Hawley retainer, which is made of metal and acrylic. You may also opt for an Essix retainer, which is made of clear plastic and resembles an Invisalign aligner. Regardless of what kind you have, constant maintenance is essential to good oral hygiene. That way, your orthodontics specialist will see that you’ve been keeping your teeth aligned during your next visit to the office. Suppose you need a good recommendation for any orthodontists.
