How Do Retainers Work?

Clear retainers are one of the most important tools in orthodontic care. They’re worn after braces or aligners, and their purpose is to hold your teeth in their new, corrected position. Without a retainer, teeth can naturally begin to shift back toward their original places over time, and this can even begin happening very soon after the initial round of orthodontic treatment.
Most patients wear their retainer full-time for a period after treatment, before transitioning to nighttime-only. In any case, sticking to your schedule is one of the simplest ways to protect the investment you’ve made in your smile and avoid the need for another future round of orthodontic treatment.
Take Advantage of Our Retainer Protection Program!

Retainers don’t last forever; in fact, they can be lost, damaged, or simply worn out over time, and replacing them out of pocket can start adding up quickly. That’s why we offer an in-house retainer protection program, designed to give our patients peace of mind. For a one-time fee, you can enroll and receive replacement retainers at a significantly discounted rate whenever they’re needed in the future. It’s an easy, affordable way to make sure a lost or broken retainer never derails the results you’ve worked so hard to achieve!
