How long does it take for the retainer?

Generally speaking, the retainer should be worn for two or three years, but some patients need to wear it for a lifetime, depending on the patient's dental condition. The more serious the tooth deformity, the longer it will be worn. Wear it 24 hours a day in the previous year, and gradually shorten the wearing time after one year, only wear it at night.

The retainer should not be placed at will, otherwise it will be easily damaged and lost. Rinse with cold water every day, and don't rinse the film clip with hot water to avoid deformation.

Matters needing attention

The retainer should not be placed at will, otherwise it will be easily damaged and lost. Rinse with cold water every day, and don't rinse the film clip with hot water to avoid deformation.

In theory, you should wear the retainer continuously, but in some special occasions (such as foreign language classes, cultural and sports activities, etc. ), the retainer can be temporarily removed, and then it should be worn in time, not for a long time, so as to avoid the recurrence of deformity and the inability to wear the retainer. In addition, if the retainer is damaged or lost, you should contact your doctor in time to determine whether to make it again.
