I have a simple question about my retainer?!


Question: I have a simple question about my retainer?
I just got my braces off today, and they told me if I take out my retainer to eat or something (its a fulltime retainer) to keep it wet..? Why is this? And if I don't.. What will happen? I'm just wondering because I want to know what it would do to the retainer...

Answers:

Your retainer is made from acrylic and needs to be kept moist or it will harden and warp out of shape and will be no good on your teeth and may even cause them to move out of line, so please put it in water when you are not wearing it. :)



Hmmm i don't think anything would happen because i have a full brace but before i had a retainer and i didn't keep it in water nothing happened but i would still listen to your dentist. hope i helped ...



is it one of the clear plastic things that goes over all teeth or a piece of plastic on the roof of your mouth with a wire over the teeth?



D material vit which v mak d retainer shrinks..its meant to be 4 a wet area..so if u r nt using it place it a glas or jar wit a cap containg tap watr..change d watr each day..
