Cleaning Instructions
You may use hydrogen peroxide or cleaning tablets, such as Retainer Brite. Many toothpastes contain abrasives (for whitening) that may scratch your trays, dental retainers, or clear aligners. If you choose to soak them in a cleaner, make sure the water has cooled down before dropping your appliances in! When your trays or orthodontic retainers are not in your face, they should be in your case! Keep your case away from pets. They like to chew them up. Do not wear plastic trays when eating or drinking anything other than water. They will stain and become dingy.
3D’s w/ Lower 3-3
The lower teeth are typically the fastest to shift and crowd after Invisalign or braces treatment is finished. By placing a lower bonded retainer, we are using a belt-and-suspenders type of approach. Yes, the plastic retainer will cover these teeth, but by using two types of dental retainers, we can ensure the teeth do not move at all. If the bonded retainer should come off or become loose, please let us know as soon as possible. Keep the metal piece and bring it with you, along with your plastic retainer, to your visit.
