To keep your retainers clean, ensure you are flossing daily. The process can initially be intimidating, but you will get used to it. If you received permanent retainers, the following are instructions on how to clean your retainer:

  1. Use at least six inches of floss and thread the floss between your teeth using a floss threader.
  2. Use your fingers to hold the threader in one hand and the floss in the other.
  3. Gently floss your teeth in an upward and downward motion after you threaded the floss under your retainer.
  4. Slide the floss over to the next area to clean and insert the floss between your teeth.
  5. Repeat this process with every tooth attached to your retainer.
