Dental Appliance Care:

Appropriate care of your appliance is necessary to maintain the fit and function.  To prevent damage to your appliance, insert and remove appliance as instructed.  Do not insert your appliance with one hand and bite it into place.

Please keep your appliance in the retainer case provided when it is not being worn. Please do not use, red, orange or yellow mouth rinses as this will stain your appliance. Keep your appliance away from small children and pets.

Keeping your appliance clean is important for your oral hygiene as well as for the longevity of your splint. Calculus can build up on your appliance from plaque and bacteria and eventually affect the fit.  Brushing your appliance daily will prevent build up and odors.  Your may brush it with your regular toothpaste and water.  You may also use Retainer Brite or Polident 3 minute denture cleaner to safely clean your appliance.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our office.
