How to Get Your Patients to Wear Their Retainers?

Getting your young and teenage patients to wear their retainers regularly can be a bona fide challenge. You can explain that retainers serve the necessary function of “retaining” their teeth after braces. You can jog their memory to the fact that their parents have worked hard to help them have a beautiful smile.  Promise, plead, cajole…

Realistically, these approaches are likely destined to fall on deaf ears – especially in view of the fact that most young patients are not really “invested” in their retainer. They didn’t pay for it, they didn’t pick it, they didn’t help design it

Why not improve their compliance by providing them with multiple retainer designs to choose from – stripes to rainbows, colors to camouflage, flames to flowers?  Not only will they be more likely to wear their retainer, they’ll show it off proudly.
