01.
Wear your retainers as instructed by your orthodontist. We generally recommend full time for the first 2 months following treatment then night time only for life.

If your retainer is not in your mouth it should be in its case.
03.
Do not eat with your retainer in. This will cause it to wear down quicker.
04.
Clean your retainer on a daily basis. You can use an old toothbrush with Dawn dish soap, a non-abrasive toothpaste, or a dried Q-tip. Use warm, not hot water.
05.
Keep your retainers away from any pets (especially dogs). They think of them as chew toys.

Always bring your retainers to your orthodontic visits.
