WOOHOO!!!
Congratulations on completing your orthodontic treatment!
To maintain your stunning new smile, follow these simple steps:
Wear your retainer full-time for the first 6 months. This means keeping it in whenever you’re not eating or brushing. It might feel a little different at first — try practicing talking with it in, and soon it will feel natural!
After 6 months, switch to wearing your retainer nightly. Consistency is key to preventing shifting and keeping your smile perfect.
Always store your retainer in its case when not in use. Most lost or damaged retainers happen because they aren’t stored properly — protect yours by using the case every time.
Clean your retainer daily with toothpaste and cold water to remove plaque and odors. If odors persist, soaking your retainer in an effervescent cleaning tablet solution can help keep it fresh.
Avoid attempting any adjustments yourself. If your retainer feels uncomfortable or needs attention, schedule a visit with us — our team is here to help with all retainer care and adjustments.
You will receive two sets of retainers from 7 to 7 Dental. Please note that replacement retainers beyond these are your responsibility.
Now, it’s time to confidently show off your beautiful, healthy smile — you earned it!
