Retainers For Life

Consistency is key in preserving your smile, so it is important that you continue to wear your retainer during your sleep for years to come. Once you wear your retainer for a few months, placing your trays in after brushing just becomes a part of your routine, but even if it’s second nature to put in your retainers at night, it’s still possible to lose your retainer. Keeping up with a small piece of plastic, or two, for years to come seems a little daunting, which is why we have created the Retainers for Life program. With just one investment in our Retainers for Life program, our Skopek Orthodontics team will gladly replace your retainers any time you lose them or damage them. If you misplace or damage your retainer, just call our North Barrington, IL office and we will look up your digital scan to make you a new one! We are dedicated to preserving your smile for a lifetime!

Once a week, clean your retainer case with soapy water to neutralize odors and eliminate bacteria from residing in your case.

Tip #3
Brush Retainer

Remember to periodically brush your retainer with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste to keep your retainer in pristine condition.
