Matters needing attention
1, the retainer should not be misplaced, otherwise it will be easily damaged and lost. Rinse with cold water every day, and don't rinse the film clip with hot water to avoid deformation.
2.

In addition, if the retainer is damaged or lost, you should contact your doctor in time to determine whether to make it again.
3. The fixer is made of plastic and easily deformed. It is not advisable to scald, steam or cook with hot water, and there is no disinfectant at home.

Retention is a measure to consolidate the curative effect of orthodontic treatment and keep the teeth in an ideal aesthetic and functional position, which is called retention. At this time, it is called a retainer. After orthodontics, after the appliance is taken out, because the teeth are still unstable in the new position, it is often necessary to wear retainers to keep the new position of the teeth on the alveolar bone and wait for the reconstruction of the alveolar bone. Functional appliances are characterized by transmitting and transferring the natural forces in the oral environment, inhibiting and stimulating the growth process. Note that the locator cannot be used for patients with nasal airway obstruction.
