Frequently Asked Questions About Retainers
How long do I need to wear my retainers
Most patients wear retainers full-time initially, then transition to nighttime wear. Dr. Heister Linn provides specific wearing instructions based on individual treatment needs.
What types of retainers are available?
We offer removable clear retainers, wire this service, and fixed retainers. Each type has specific advantages depending on your orthodontic needs and lifestyle preferences.
How do I clean my retainers properly?
Clean retainers daily with lukewarm water and gentle soap. Avoid hot water, which can warp the material. Special cleaning tablets provide additional sanitization when needed.
What happens if my retainer breaks or is lost?
Contact our Williamsport, Lock Haven or Wellsboro offices immediately for retainer replacement. Delaying replacement can allow teeth to shift, potentially requiring additional orthodontic treatment to restore proper alignment.
