RETAINERS

What are retainers?

Retainers are devices you wear after getting braces or Invisalign to keep your teeth in their new positions. Once your braces/Invisalign come off, your teeth are still settling into place, and without a retainer, they might start shifting back. Retainers are made to fit your mouth perfectly and are usually worn all the time at first, then just at night once your teeth are more stable. There are different types, like clear plastic ones you can take out, or wire ones that stay attached to the back of your teeth. Wearing a retainer helps make sure your smile stays straight and healthy in the long run.

What are the advantages of retainers?

Retainers offer several key advantages, including:

  • Prevents Teeth from Shifting – They help keep your teeth in their new positions after braces, ensuring the results last long-term.
