Retainers

Wear your retainer at all times, until the doctor instructs otherwise.
Take your retainer out when eating, and always put it back in its case! (Most appliances are lost in school lunchrooms or restaurants.)
Clean the retainer thoroughly once a day with a toothbrush and gentle hand soap. Use room temperature water. Brushing retainers removes the plaque, and eliminates odors. RetainerBrite® or other orthodontic appliance cleaners may be used but do not replace of brushing.
When your retainer is not in your mouth, it should ALWAYS be in its case.
Initially, you may find it difficult to speak. Practice speaking, reading, or singing out loud to get used to it faster.
Retainers are breakable, so treat yours with care. If your retainer gets lost or broken, call us immediately.
If you have any questions or concerns about your retainer, or you believe it needs adjusting, call us. Do not try to adjust it yourself.
Always bring your retainer to all dental appointments.
Keep retainers away from hot water, hot car dashboards, pockets, the washing machine, and napkins.

What our patients are saying

Dr. Raina has been an outstanding orthodontist for me! I needed upper and lower braces as an adult and she made the entire process a fantastic experience! The entire office staff is so kind, patient, and personable! Another plus is having my dentist, Dr. Nodesh, in the same office so cleanings and routine dental checkups could overlap on the same day as orthodontic appointments.

I’ve been going here for nearly 35 years, and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. The staff is very professional and friendly.

Will H.

Very friendly and collegial staff. Dr. Nodesh was very kind and explained me my treatment plan in detail. Highly recommended

Shilpa D

Best most thorough and least pain giving dentist I’ve ever experienced. I am 74 years old, blessed with excellent teeth and am particular about them. The office is equipped with the latest medical equipment and accessories. If you are in the market for a new dentist, this is the place.
