Don’t Let Summer Setbacks Follow You into Fall

August is the ideal time to get back into healthy routines, and that includes consistent retainer wear. Whether you’ve just finished braces or aligner therapy, your retainer is essential to hold on to your progress and protect the time, money, and effort you’ve already invested.

Why Retainers Matter

Once teeth are moved into alignment, they naturally want to shift back to their original positions. Retainers act as a stabilizing force, allowing bone and gum tissue to settle and support your new smile for life.

Reset Your Habits for a New Season

Vacations, sleepovers, and late nights can make it easy to fall out of routine during summer. As school and work schedules resume, it’s the perfect moment to recommit to nightly retainer wear. Consider setting reminders or creating a visible storage spot to keep your retainer top of mind.

Time for a Retainer Check?

Retainers wear out over time or may no longer fit if you’ve missed some nights. A quick dental visit can ensure your device is doing its job—or get you a replacement if needed.
