Retainers

Retainers: protect your new smile

Custom retainers hold your teeth in their new position so the results of your treatment last.

Finishing braces or aligners is a big milestone, and a retainer is what keeps that result. Teeth naturally tend to drift over time, so wearing your retainer as directed is the single best way to protect the smile you worked for.

Why retainers matter

  • Lock in your result after braces or aligners come off.
  • Custom-fit to your smile for comfort and a secure hold.
  • Simple to care for with the routine we will walk you through.

Caring for your retainer

We will show you how to clean and store your retainer and how often to wear it. If a retainer is ever lost or damaged, call the office and we will help. See post-op resources for more aftercare guidance.
