Your Final Step in the Orthodontic Journey

A retainer is often the final stage of an orthodontic treatment plan, especially if you wear braces as an orthodontic device. They are designed to maintain the positions of the teeth and keep your bite in its corrected location. Although it can be a bit frustrating to wear a retainer after wearing braces, it can prevent the need for repeated orthodontic treatments and ensure you get lasting results.

Custom dental retainers can be made from plastic or wire, and depending on your needs, they maybe bonded to your teeth or removable. Either way, you’ll receive specific care instructions from our dental team so you know when to wear your retainer and how to clean it.

Wearing Your Retainer

If you have a removable retainer(s), you’ll need to wear it regularly to ensure the treatment works as intended. Most brands recommend wearing the retainer for most or all of the day, including while you sleep.

However, you will need to remove it when you are eating. It can also be beneficial to remove retainers while drinking anything other than water, as sugary or acidic substances can become trapped under the retainer and sit on your teeth.

The long-term duration of treatment can vary widely. In some cases, orthodontists may recommend that you wear your retainer for the rest of your life to avoid the teeth moving due to chewing and wear. In other cases, you’ll only need to wear it for a few months to a few years.
