Retainers are part of the treatment process to straighten crooked teeth. Your dentist may recommend that you wear a retainer at night for one year, or indefinitely after the treatment is complete. This helps to maintain your teeth in their new positions.
Key takeaways:
– Teeth continue to shift so a retainer helps keep teeth straight.
– Some people who stop wearing their retainer at night will require further treatment in the future.
– Keep your retainer by your toothbrush to make it part of your nighttime oral care routine.
To ensure that your teeth remain straight and to maintain your new smile, make sure that you follow your dentist’s advice and continue to wear your retainer.
“…wearing your retainer is the best way to keep your smile straight and prevent the need for future treatment.”
