Dr. Kammo on Retainers
I always like to say retainers are the most important part of your treatment. This maintains the position of your teeth for a lifetime. We always include a set of retainers, upper and lower, and we also do include permanent retainers for all our patients, and this helps with maintaining the longevity of teeth, and the parents are very happy because their investment is secured.
Retainers are clear trays that you wear just when you sleep, and they help maintain the position of your teeth. I always like to tell my patients teeth have memory, and teeth always want to go back to where they used to be. So if you do not wear your retainer, your teeth will go back to being crooked, and you’ll have to come see us at the office again.
Yeah, Profound Orthodontics, we sometimes do see patients who, you know, unfortunately forget to wear the retainer, and we see some shifting. We like to work with our patients, and we try to make them a new retainer to push their teeth back into placement. However, this is not always the option, and sometimes we’ll have to put the braces back on, but we do not charge a full fee again.
We like to work with our patients and do what we can to get that patient back to the original smile.
- Keep your teeth straight & beautiful
- Get a removable or fixed retainer
- Enjoy your smile for life
