FAQs About Retainers
For the first few months after braces, you’ll need to wear your retainer full-time (day and night). After that, most patients transition to wearing it only at night to maintain results. Your orthodontist will provide a customized wear schedule based on your needs.
Without a retainer, your teeth can shift back to their original positions, undoing the results of your orthodontic treatment. Wearing your retainer as instructed helps keep your smile straight for life!
For removable retainers, clean them daily with a soft toothbrush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the material. For fixed (bonded) retainers, use floss threaders or a water flosser to keep the area clean.
With proper care, clear retainers last about 1-3 years, while Hawley (wire) retainers can last 5-10 years. Fixed (bonded) retainers can last a decade or longer, but may need adjustments over time.
If your retainer is lost or damaged, contact us immediately to get a replacement. Wearing your retainer consistently is essential to keeping your teeth in alignment, so don’t wait too long!
