Retainers
A great result deserves to last. Custom retainers protect the smile you and your doctor worked so hard to create by holding teeth in their new, healthy position.
Why retainers matter
Teeth want to drift throughout life. Without consistent retainer wear, even a perfectly finished result can shift back over time. Retention is the most important step in keeping your smile straight for life.
Your options
Removable clear retainers worn at night, traditional Hawley wire retainers, and bonded fixed retainers placed behind the front teeth. Many patients use a combination for the best long-term result.
How long to wear them
Full-time wear at first, then nighttime wear long term. We will give you a clear schedule that fits your case and your life.
Replacements and check-ins
Retainers wear out. We make replacements straight from your digital records and welcome you back any time something does not feel right.
