Retention

Keeping a beautiful smile for a lifetime!

Once active treatment is complete you will be given retainers. Routine wear is needed to ensure your smile lasts a lifetime.

Hawley Retainers

This classic plastic and wire, removable retainer is custom made. Routine nighttime wear is usually sufficient to keep your smile perfect. The acrylic can also be personalized with a large number of colors.

Clear Retainers

Clear retainers offer an esthetic solution for keeping your smile perfect. These retainers are made from a digital scan of your teeth the day treatment is completed assuring a perfect fit every time! Nighttime wear is usually sufficient.

Fixed Retainers

A fixed or glued-in retainer is a wire we cement directly to the back of your teeth. Although glued to the teeth, they are not permanent as the wire or glue can break. These retainers are not recommended for every patient.  Our doctors believe there is a time and a place when one is indicated. If you have  questions regarding a fixed retainer and when one may be indicated, one of our doctors would love to discuss it further with you.
