3M Unitek Rectangular Retainer Cases, Hinged Latch
Hinged, latchable rectangular retainer cases made of opaque plastic, sized compactly to hold two retainers safely when they are not being worn.
Unitek Rectangular Retainer Cases give patients a durable, easy to carry container for their retainers, protecting the appliances from damage or loss whenever they are removed for eating, brushing or other activities. Like the molded retainer case in this product range, it is constructed from opaque plastic with upper and lower sections that hinge together and close securely with a latch, keeping the enclosed retainer fully protected during transport in a bag or pocket.
The compact rectangular shape is designed to remain small enough to carry easily while still being large enough to accommodate two retainers at once, suiting the common situation of a patient wearing both an upper and lower retainer who wants to store them together in one case rather than two. Giving every retention patient a dependable case to use is a standard part of most orthodontic practices' retention protocol, since compliance with retainer wear depends partly on patients having a safe, convenient place to keep the appliance rather than leaving it loose and at risk of being thrown away accidentally.
Practices typically offer a choice between the molded and rectangular case styles, letting patients pick whichever shape or colour they prefer.
