Do you have wear instructions for my retainer?Updated 4 months ago

Wear instructons: 

  • Recommended wear time is a minimum of 8 hours of continuous wear at night.
  • If this is the first time you’re wearing retainers after completing your teeth straightening with clear aligners, we recommend all day wear for the first three weeks – wearing your retainers 22 hours per day. After the first three weeks, your retainers can be worn only at night.
  • When you’re not wearing your retainers, be sure to store them somewhere safe. Keep away from pets and children.
  • As a reminder, each set of retainers lasts 6 months before needing to be replaced. Your next set of retainers can be ordered on our website, or you can sign up for a subscription to make it even easier to make sure you get your custom retainers on-time.
