RETAINERS


WHAT ARE RETAINERS?

Retainers are the final step in your orthodontic journey, ensuring your smile stays confidently aligned for years to come. Our retainers are available in a variety of styles, from traditional wire retainers to clear, discreet options, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your lifestyle and comfort.


WHAT IS THE TREATMENT PROCESS?

Transitioning to the retainer phase of your smile journey is a simple and essential step in preserving your radiant smile. Once your braces or aligner treatment is complete, our orthodontic team will craft a personalized retainer specifically tailored to your unique dental anatomy.

Our typical retainer protocol involves a traditional wire retainer that lays across the backside of the upper and lower front teeth along with a clear thermoformed retainer that covers the entirety of the upper and lower teeth. Whether you opt for a traditional wire retainer or a more discreet option, the process remains painless and quick. Wearing your retainer as prescribed by our team will help maintain the results achieved during your orthodontic treatment, preventing any potential shifts in alignment.


WHY CHOOSE RETAINERS?

Choosing retainers is investing in the longevity of your beautiful smile. Retainers are not only effective but also customizable to suit your preferences, with options ranging from traditional wire retainers to nearly invisible alternatives. Relish the confidence that comes with knowing your smile will continue to shine brilliantly for years to come.


BUILDING YOUR DREAM SMILE

Retainers help us preserve the beauty and alignment of your newly transformed smile. Each device is custom-made in-house to maintain the position of your teeth after your treatment.
