A Healthy Smile with Retainers
How They Work
Retainers in Cypress hold your teeth in their new positions until your bone, gums, and muscles adapt to the new teeth positions. You must wear your retainer as we instruct; otherwise, your teeth may shift. Follow at-home care instructions to help prevent food particles, plaque, and bacteria from accumulating on your retainer. Clean it daily using a special cleaning product or toothpaste if he says it’s okay. You can soak your retainer, but don’t place it in hot water. If your retainer is broken or misplaced, be sure to call us to schedule an appointment so that you can maintain a healthy, straighter smile.
