retainers

A retainer is a custom-made orthodontic appliance designed to “retain” or hold the position of your teeth.

Once your braces come off, your teeth need to settle into the jawbone and soft tissue that hold them in place.

 

Made of solid plastic, your custom-made retainer will keep your teeth from shifting and protect your investment in orthodontics!

 

As you age, your teeth tend to shift. Your retainer will also help control this naturally occurring, age-related shifting. Wearing your retainer exactly as instructed is the best insurance that your orthodontic treatment results last a lifetime.
