WHY IT MATTERS

Why Are Retainers Important?

After braces or clear aligner treatment, your teeth naturally tend to shift back toward their original positions. Wearing a retainer helps stabilize your teeth while the surrounding bone and tissues adapt to their new alignment.
Custom retainers play a vital role in preserving your orthodontic results, protecting the time and investment you’ve made in achieving a straighter, healthier smile.

Why do I need to wear a retainer after braces or clear aligners?
Retainers help keep your teeth in their corrected positions while your jawbone and surrounding tissues stabilize, reducing the risk of teeth shifting over time.
Every patient is different. Many patients wear their retainer full-time initially, followed by nighttime wear as recommended by their orthodontist to maintain long-term results.
Retainers are available as removable clear or acrylic retainers, as well as fixed retainers that are bonded behind the teeth. Your orthodontist will recommend the best option for your needs.
Clean removable retainers daily using a soft toothbrush, lukewarm water, and a retainer cleaner or mild soap. Avoid hot water, which can warp the material.
Without regular retainer use, your teeth may gradually shift back toward their original positions, potentially affecting the results of your orthodontic treatment.
