Retainers When your braces come off, we believe that all people should see is your new smile! Traditional retainers have a thick metal wire that goes across the front of your teeth. We avoid this problem by making clear plastic retainers that simply slide over your teeth For younger, colorfully inclined patients, we provide traditional retainers with every color imaginable. Retainers are utilized to hold your teeth in their new positions until your bone, gums, and muscles adapt to the new teeth positions. You must wear your retainer as instructed, otherwise your teeth may move toward their original positions and the benefit of wearing your braces will be lost. Some people may need retainers for an extended period of time in order to eliminate shifting of the teeth. In some cases, permanent retention may be necessary. |
