However, to help you know more about your retainers, below we have some frequently asked questions and answers to those questions to help educate you. 

What kind of retainers in Draper are available? 

First, after your orthodontic treatment, we offer two different types of retainers, including the clear full retainer, which is the most popular, and the wire retainer. However, once you finish your braces treatment, we will help you decide which retainer is best for your smile and the retention of your smile. 

Furthermore, we also offer permanent retainers. 

How do I keep my retainer clean? 

Next, you wear retainers in Draper around the clock, and so it is important to take the time to clean your retainers to prevent bacteria build-up. Plus, if you constantly wear the retainer, rinse it with warm water when you remove it and right before you put it back in. 

Moreover, for permanent retainers, it is important to brush and floss your teeth twice a day to remove any build-up of food or plaque that could be hiding near your retainer. 

Is it necessary to wear my retainer? 

Yes! Retainers, if given to you as a treatment plan, are required to wear if you want the desired outcome. However, for retainers after braces, we highly encourage each patient to wear them to prevent the recently moved teeth from moving back into their original place. 

What do I do if I break my retainer? 

Unfortunately, retainers can break, if this happens to you, don’t worry, just give us a call. Therefore, we can either fix minor retainer breaks or administer you a new retainer if it is broken beyond repair.
