We offer two types of retainers.
Removable retainers fit comfortably over your teeth and can be taken out for eating, drinking, and cleaning. These retainers give you flexibility while keeping your teeth properly aligned.
Fixed retainers consist of a thin wire permanently bonded to the back of your front teeth, where no one can see it. These retainers work continuously to keep your teeth in place and are especially helpful if you had large gaps or severely crooked teeth before treatment.
Some patients choose to have both types of retainers for maximum protection.
A retainer is the final step in protecting your new smile, no matter which orthodontic treatment you chose.
Whether you straightened your teeth with metal braces, ceramic braces, or Invisalign, a retainer helps keep your teeth in their new positions and prevents them from shifting back.
Think of your retainer as insurance for your smile investment. After spending time and effort achieving perfectly aligned teeth, wearing your retainer as directed ensures your beautiful results last for years to come.

During the first year after braces or Invisalign, your teeth are especially prone to shifting back to their original positions. A retainer holds them in place while the surrounding bone and tissues stabilize, protecting your investment in orthodontic treatment and ensuring long-lasting results.
Clean your retainer daily using a soft toothbrush and mild soap – never hot water or harsh chemicals. Store it in its protective case when not in use. Regular cleaning prevents bacteria buildup and extends your retainer’s lifespan.
Contact our office immediately if your retainer is lost or damaged. Teeth can shift quickly without retention, so it’s crucial to get a replacement as soon as possible. We can create a new retainer using your existing orthodontic records.
