A retainer is a custom-made appliance that we recommend to our patients so they can preserve their smiles after orthodontic treatment. By maintaining properly aligned teeth, you can better keep up the hygiene of your smile and prevent issues like plaque buildup and cavities. If you have completed your orthodontic treatment, our dentist can provide you with a retainer that best addresses your needs. According to your situation, we may recommend one of the following types of retainers:
Hawley retainers are made of wires and clasps that connect to a plastic frame and can be customized to support either your upper or lower teeth. The clasps are designed to fit around your teeth to stabilize the retainer in your mouth while the wires maintain the alignment of your smile.
Clear retainers are similar to Hawley retainers, appearing more invisible and discreet than traditional retainers do.
Fixed retainers are a longer-lasting option for maintaining the alignment of your teeth. They can be permanently secured to the back of your front teeth, preventing your smile from shifting over time.
Retainers are designed to preserve the alignment of your teeth, helping you achieve a healthy and confident smile that lasts a lifetime. To learn more about how you can receive a retainer, we welcome you to contact our team today!
