Retainer Do’s and Don’ts – (Part 4 of 4)
A patient wearing retainers must have self-discipline . Your mouth is the safest way for your retainers so don’t have to remove it unless you are told to do so. Eating out with friends or play sports can still be a valid excuse for not wearing them for an hour. Always bring your retainer case with you. Don’t you ever put it in a paper napkin or tissue for the reason that other people might misinterpret it as trash and throw it in the garbage can. This scenario usually happens after dinner. You will be forced to get a new one again – unless you don’t really care about your teeth anymore.
