How do the retainers work?Updated 4 months ago

Our retainers are BPA-free plastic trays designed to hold your teeth in their current position. Removable retainers are passive appliances, which means they are not programmed to move teeth. Retainers must be worn continuously for the first three weeks following the completion of aligner therapy. After the first three weeks, retainers are intended to be worn at night (at least 8 hours a day).

Retainers are most effective if your teeth and gums are healthy. It is your responsibility to see a dentist prior to wearing retainers, to verify that your teeth and gums are healthy. It is also your responsibility to maintain and have follow-up dental care while wearing retainers.

You should be aware of the benefits and risks related to using retainers.

• HYGIENE – Because retainers can be removed, you can eat, brush and floss normally, which will allow you to maintain your oral hygiene habits.
