There are all types of retainers - some are removable and some are fixed. Dr. Danzer will tell you which one is right for you.
During the retention phase, it is important to brush your retainer every time you brush your teeth as they can accumulate food particles and plaque.
Once a day, you should soak your appliance in a glass of room-temperature tap water with a denture-cleaning tablet. This will help prevent plaque build-up and oral infections and will keep your appliance tasting better.
