What Are Retainers?
Retainers are custom-made dental appliances designed to keep your teeth in their new positions after completing orthodontic treatment. They are typically worn at night or as directed by our dentists. Retainers come in different types, including:
- Removable retainers: Easy to clean and convenient to wear.
- Fixed retainers: Bonded to the back of teeth for continuous support.
Our dentists will determine the best type of retainer for your needs based on your treatment and lifestyle.

Complementary Orthodontic Care
