Temporary Retainer Protocol
TEMPORARY RETAINER PROTOCOL
To maintain your orthodontic result until you can see Dr. Gilman:
- Please wear your aligners every night starting after dinner until you wake up in the morning.
- Please do not switch your aligners so that we can keep your teeth in their current position until your next appointment.
- To keep your aligners clean, all you need to do is rinse them with cold water after you take them out of your mouth in the morning. Shake them dry and place back in the case. That’s it!! Since you are not wearing them all day, they will not get dirty. You can use a mouth rinse to help freshen up the retainers. You can use a toothbrush with toothpaste as well.
