Common Inquiries About Retainers
How long should I wear my retainer each day in Hawthorne, California?
Initially, most patients are advised to wear their retainers full-time for a few months, followed by a shift to nighttime use, based on the tailored recommendations provided by Dr. Karen Sierra for your individual case.
What should I do if my retainer gets damaged?
Please contact our Hawthorne office right away for retainer repair or replacement. Waiting to replace a damaged retainer can lead to teeth beginning to shift, potentially necessitating further orthodontic treatment.
What is the best way to clean and care for my retainer?
Retainers should be cleaned daily using lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water, as it can distort the appliance, and always store it in the provided case when not in use.
Is it okay to eat while wearing my removable retainer?
It is advisable to remove your retainer before consuming any food or drinks other than water to prevent damage and discoloration. Always rinse your mouth before reinserting the retainer after meals.
