Caring for Your Retainer
Retainers live in your mouth along with bacteria, plaque, and leftover food particles!. You should clean your retainer every day, but make sure to check with your orthodontist about how your type of retainer should be cleaned (some kinds shouldn't be cleaned with toothpaste)!. You can also soak it in mouthwash or a denture-cleaning agent to freshen it up and kill germs!.
Because the plastic of your retainer can crack if it gets too dry, you should always soak it when it isn't in your mouth!. Plastic can warp easily, so don't put it in hot water or leave it near a heat source
