Retainers in West Palm Beach

Retainers may be removable or fixed. They hold your teeth in their new, correct positions after your teeth have been straightened. Dr. Parsons will instruct you on how to care for your retainer and about the duration of the wear. Wearing your retainer as directed is crucial to prevent regression of your treatment.

Follow these simple instructions on how to use and care for your retainer to ensure successful orthodontic treatment
Wear your retainers full time, until the doctor instructs otherwise.

Take your retainers out when eating, and always put retainers in their case! (Most appliances are lost in school lunch rooms or restaurants.)
Clean retainers thoroughly once a day with a toothbrush. Use warm, but not hot, water. Brushing retainers removes the plaque, and eliminates odors. Efferdent or other orthodontic appliance cleaners can be used, but do not take the place of brushing.
When retainers are not in your mouth, they should ALWAYS be in a retainer case. Pets love to chew on them!
Initially, you may find it difficult to speak. Practice speaking, reading, or singing out loud to get used to them faster.
Retainers are breakable, so treat them with care. If retainers are lost or broken, call us immediately.

Always bring your retainers to your appointments.
Retainer replacement is expensive. With proper care they will last for years!

FAQs

What are are retainers?

Retainers are orthodontic devices used to maintain the position of your teeth after braces or Invisalign treatment. They help prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

Why do I need to wear a retainer?

After your teeth have been moved to their new positions with braces or Invisalign, they need time to settle and stabilize. Wearing a retainer helps ensure that your teeth stay in their new positions and don’t shift back.

How long do I need to wear a retainer?

The duration of retainer wear varies for each patient. Typically, you will be instructed to wear your retainer full-time for the first few months after your orthodontic treatment. After that, you may be able to switch to wearing it only at night. Dr. Parsons will provide specific instructions based on your individual needs.

What types of retainers are available?

There are two main types of retainers: fixed and removable. Fixed retainers are bonded to the back of your teeth, while removable retainers can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing.

Can I eat and drink with my retainer on?

You should remove removable retainers when eating and drinking to prevent damage and staining. Always put your retainer in its case to avoid losing it. If you have a fixed retainer, avoid hard and sticky foods that could damage it.

What should I do if my retainer breaks or is lost?

If your retainer breaks or is lost, contact Parsons Orthodontics immediately to get a replacement. Wearing a damaged retainer or going without one can cause your teeth to shift out of alignment.
