Retainers

Protect the Smile You Worked So Hard For

Custom retainers keep your teeth aligned and your results lasting.

Removable retainers are custom-made dental devices specifically designed to help preserve the alignment of your teeth. The primary function of a removable retainer is to ensure that your teeth stay in their correct position. Without a retainer, there is a tendency for your teeth to shift back to their original positions over time, making it essential to wear a retainer as part of your post-treatment care. This simple yet crucial step helps you maintain the beautiful smile you worked hard to achieve.

There are different types of retainers, with fixed retainers and removable retainers being the most common. While fixed retainers are permanently bonded to the back of your teeth, offering continuous, low-maintenance support, they can make it more challenging to floss and properly clean between your teeth. In contrast, removable retainers are designed to be taken out and only need to be worn at night, making them more versatile. These devices are typically made from clear plastic or a combination of metal and acrylic, providing a discreet and comfortable option that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Removable retainers not only help preserve your teeth’s alignment but also play a vital role in preventing bite issues, such as overbites or underbites, from recurring. By wearing your retainer as directed, you minimize the risk of your teeth shifting, ensuring a well-positioned smile.
