Keep Your Smile Beautiful

Finally, after all of your hard work to take care of mouth during treatment, your braces are off, you’ve used your last Invisalign tray, and you have a beautiful straight smile to show for it.

Your healthy smile isn’t the end of your orthodontic treatment, however. To keep your smile shining, You’ll need to wear a retainer to preserve your results.

Why retainers matter

After orthodontic treatment, teeth can shift back to their original positions. Retainers control and limit potential changes to the position of your teeth as your gums, bone and muscles adjust to the new placement of your teeth.

Choosing the right retainer

Removable retainers can be taken out for eating and brushing your teeth. However, they’re easy to lose, so remember to keep yours in the case whenever you remove it. Fixed retainers are great if you don’t want to keep track of it or worry about wearing it enough. But when you’re wearing a fixed retainer, you need to give extra attention to removing tartar while flossing. You’ll need to use a floss threader to clean thoroughly.

Retainer options
