Retainers Are an Essential Part of Orthodontic Treatment

Completing your orthodontic treatment is an exciting milestone. Seeing your transformed smile makes all the time and effort worthwhile. Our retainers allow you to protect those amazing results. Custom-fit for your mouth, your retainers gently hold teeth in their ideal placement. Otherwise, because your teeth have memory, they’ll revert to their old positions. Wearing retainers exactly as prescribed prevents teeth from relapsing.

We offer two kinds:

• Fixed Retainers – These are made of thin wire, bonded permanently to the backs of teeth. They are non-removable and left in place long-term.
• Removable Retainers – These retainers are made of clear, BPA-free plastic and look similar to clear aligners. They are custom-made to maintain your teeth’s ideal placement and easily removable.

If you receive the removable retainer, for the first few months, you’ll need to wear it for at least 22 hours per day. Your orthodontist will create a plan for you based on your situation and review it with you. Then, you can begin wearing it only at night. However, keep in mind retainers are meant to be worn for the rest of your life. Even after many years, you’ll still need to wear yours at least several times a week to maintain your results. Make sure to follow your orthodontist’s exact instructions for the best possible outcome.
