Retainers

Custom devices that hold teeth in place after braces or aligner treatment.

Overview

Retainers are custom removable or fixed devices worn after orthodontic treatment to keep teeth from drifting back to their old positions. Wearing them as directed protects your investment and maintains your straightened, healthy smile for years to come.

What to expect

  • A consultation and assessment to confirm retainers is right for you.
  • The procedure typically takes 1–2 visits.
  • Most people need around none to recover.
  • Your dentist will explain aftercare and any follow-up visits.
