Piercing retainers are clear bioplastic retainers ment to be used when jewellery cant be worn (like at work or in school) and sit in the piercing to retain the piercing while the jewellery is out.
I clean my retainer with my toothbrush and Listerine. There are tablets you can buy that you put in water and they dissolve and clean the retainers. Just whatever you do, DO NOT use any kind of heat to clean them! Using heat can misshapen your retainers!
you cant leave it out too long if your going to just try and stick it in every once in a while too make shure its still open but the retainers work greaT
I wouldn't think that you would have to take out your retainer for gym but I'm not so sure because I'm just getting my braces on in two weeks....I think that's a question that you may have to confront your ortho with!
Retainers are for slight over lapped teeth, or medium size overbites/ underbite!. Retainers can be used for the outside on your teeth or the inside behind your teeth.
Yes, some movement is completely normal. Your teeth are adjusting to their new positioning without the aid of the braces. The clear plastic retainers shouldn't be "temporary", they are for use during the day while you are moving your jaw and mouth a lot. The metal and plastic retainers are harder to wear but they're designed to keep your teeth where they are - not move them around. If you are worried however you should speak to your orthodontist, not the Internet.
One can order replacement retainers in a number of places. While the best place could potentially be through a dentist or orthodontist, there are also temporary replacements available on websites such as Amazon.
Each of the headlight assemblies are braced through the radiator support with a pair of retainers. The retainers for the right headlight assembly are in front of the battery. The retainers for the left assembly are in front of the washer fluid reservoir. Remove the retainers by pulling up on the retainer. With the retainers removed, the headlamp assembly falls forward. Reinstall the retainers to the square tabs on the headlamp assembly and the rivet on the radiator support
Yes you can put retainers in just about any piercing, just be sure to do it after you have cleaned the piercings, it makes getting the retainers in a bit easier.
probably the same as using wikianswers at work. It all depends on your companies regulations. For me I am at work now, there is nothing to do so I am allowed to do as i please on the net, but i have to drop everything if there is something to do.
Retainers are made for practically every piercing imaginable. You just have to buy the right kind.
