1. Removing: When removing your retainers, use both hands and pull the retainers off the teeth. When the retainers twist they can break.
2. Cleaning: When cleaning your retainers you want to cup them in one hand and clean with with a soft bristle tooth brush with the other hand. You do not want to brush them too hard. Soaking the retainers in Fresh Guard will make cleaning the retainers easier.
3. Make: Creation of the retainers is also important to the strength of the retainers. If you are missing a tooth or have a gap, it is a weak point on the retainers. You want to make sure that your retainers are made from a dental lab that is very familiar with the creation of Essix retainers.
