Retainer Emergencies

If you haven’t worn your retainer for a while and when you go to place it, it doesn’t fit, this might be a problem for Dr. Cynthia Wong. Wearing a retainer as instructed is critical for keeping teeth in place after all that hard work from orthodontic treatment. The keys to avoiding problems with your retainer are simple, keep it in a safe place at all times, keep your retainer check appointments, and call us if a problem develops.


If you lose or break a removable or fixed retainer, call us immediately so that we can replace the appliance and get you back to maintaining a straight smile. Never place your retainer in a purse, or a pocket, unless it is in its appropriate container. If you have a fixed retainer, it’s possible for the wire to break after eating crunchy foods, or after nail-biting and other bad oral habits. Regardless of how your retainer breaks, Dr. Wong is here to fix it.


If you have questions or concerns regarding orthodontic treatment or retainers, please give us a call.
