Cinco Ranch Orthodontic Laboratory congratulates you on your commitment to achieve and maintain a beautiful smile!

Retainer wearing tips from the Laboratory

1. The best thing that you can do for your post treatment is follow your Orthodontist instructions.
2. It is important to wear your retainer as instructed. Your teeth are settling into their new position during this time.
3. Your lasting result will be determined by your commitment to wear your retainer.
4. Good hygiene is brushing your teeth and your retainer on a regular basis.
5. Added cleaning: periodically use a denture cleaner on your retainer as well.
6. A known fact! Dogs love retainers as a chew toy!
7. Another known fact: A back pocket is a sure place to break a retainer in half.
8. A lunch bag is not a good place to hide your retainer while you eat. Unless you really intended to throw it away accidentally on purpose. Oops!
9. Heat can destroy your retainer. Avoid leaving your retainer in a hot car or direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
10. Remove your retainer when playing contact sports.

Retainer wear is essential, you have to do your part to keep your great smile. Our job is to make it more fun!

We hope we helped to make your retainer better by adding your personal touch to it.

If your friends think your retainer is cool have them visit your Orthodontist or, if they are already wearing braces they can ask their doctor if they can get their retainer through Cinco Ranch Orthodontic Laboratory, just like you! Just give them our web address at www.cincoranchlab.com
