How can we help?

Retainers are designed to keep your teeth in position after orthodontic work, preventing them from shifting. In some cases, retainers may also be recommended for minor teeth movement or as a protective barrier for dental veneers or crowns.

A night guard will act as a retainer when used at night by helping keep your teeth in position while also protecting against grinding forces. However, retainers alone are not built to withstand the pressure from grinding and can wear down quickly. For protection against both grinding and alignment, a Night Guard is recommended.

For good hygiene, we recommend replacing your retainer every 3-6 months. However, with proper care, storage, and minimal wear, retainers can last up to 12 months or more. Watch for signs of wear like cracks or warping, and replace your retainer when necessary.

If your retainer no longer fits properly, it may be due to recent dental work or irregular use. Contact support@mymofosmile.com for assistance in getting a replacement. You may need to have new dental impressions taken for a properly fitting retainer.

No, retainers are designed to keep your teeth in position after orthodontic treatment, not to straighten them. If you are looking to have your teeth straightened, you would need clear aligners or braces. Seek advice from your dentist or orthodontist.

MYMOFOSMILE retainers are made from copolyester (PETG), BPA-free, providing a durable, comfortable, and protective fit.

While retainers are designed for all-purpose wear, they don’t need to be worn all day. However, it is recommended to wear your retainer both day and night for the first three months following orthodontic treatment. MYMOFOSMILE offers a general retainer that is 0.75mm thick, which is the most comfortable for all-day wear. We also offer a Nighttime Retainer, which is 1mm thick for those who grind their teeth or need a more durable option for nighttime use.

Avoid chewing on your retainer, exposing it to heat, or using harsh chemicals like bleach for cleaning, as these can damage it. Cleaning your retainer with a towel can also cause it to snap due to excessive force. Use a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive soap for gentle cleaning.

Yes! We offer a blue Nighttime Retainer for customers concerned about losing their retainers in bed. It’s a great option for those who often misplace clear retainers.

Our retainers are designed to follow the gum line for the most comfortable and discreet fit. Some people prefer a higher extension up the gums for a more secure fit, while others prefer a straight cut for added comfort. If you would like your retainers cut differently, we can accommodate your preference—just get in touch!
