FAQs
What is the purpose of a retainer after orthodontic treatment?
A retainer helps keep your teeth in their new position after braces or aligners have been removed, preventing unwanted shifting and preserving your smile.
How long do I need to wear my retainer?
Initially, retainers are often worn full-time for several months, then transitioned to nighttime wear. Your orthodontist at Schur Orthodontics will provide a customized schedule based on your specific case.
Can I clean my retainer with toothpaste?
It’s best to avoid toothpaste as it can be abrasive. Instead, clean your retainer with lukewarm water and a gentle soap or special cleaning tablets recommended by your orthodontist.
What should I do if my retainer breaks or feels uncomfortable?
If your retainer breaks or causes discomfort, contact us at (425) 747-4477 right away. We can assess whether repair or replacement is necessary and schedule a quick visit.
