Answering Some Of Your Common Summer Questions

School is almost out! Yippee! Everyone made is successfully through another year of school. Congratulations. Let the fun and slower summer schedules begin. If you or your child is undergoing orthodontic treatment there are a few things you will want to keep in mind during the summer break.
Should I swim with my retainer or Invisalign in?
If you are supposed to wear your retainer during the day then you should keep your retainer and Invisalign in during swimming. Retainers and Invisalign are designed to fit snugly over your teeth and should not prohibit breathing or be at risk to fall out.
What should I do with my retainer during sleepovers?
Summertime is a fun time to have sleepovers with friends. If you’re planning to spend the night at a friend’s house, remember to pack your retainer to slip in your mouth if you only need to wear it at night. While missing one night will not harm your teeth greatly, it can reverse your alignment results if missed repeatedly.
