Keeping Retainers Safe
Keeping Retainers Safe - Tips from Escott Orthodontics in Orlando and Lake County FL
Keeping your retainer safe at home can be easy and fun! Here are some simple tips for kids on how to make sure their retainer stays out of the trash and in good shape:
- Use a Bright Case: Pick a case that’s really colorful. This makes it easier to see so it won’t get thrown away by mistake. Always put your retainer in its case when you’re not wearing it.
- Don’t Hide It in a Napkin: Never wrap your retainer in a napkin, tissue, or paper towel. It might seem like a good hiding spot, but it’s actually how a lot of retainers end up in the trash!
- Have a Special Spot: Always keep your retainer in the same place when you’re not using it. Whether it’s a drawer in your bathroom or a spot on your nightstand, having a special spot means you’ll always know where it is.
- Remember to Wear It: It’s hard to lose your retainer if it’s in your mouth. Set a reminder on a phone or have your parents help you remember when it’s time to put it back in.
- Keep Away from Pets: Pets can be curious, and they might think your retainer is a toy! Always store your retainer in a place high up or closed away where pets can’t reach it.
So, follow these tips, and you’ll keep your retainer safe and sound at home. And don’t worry—if you ever lose your retainer, Escott Orthodontics can help. If you need more help or want to learn more about taking care of your retainer, you can call Escott Orthodontics at
