RETENTION

Retainers

Once your braces are removed, you will begin the retention phase of your treatment. There are several different types of retainers available and we will help you select the best option.

Retainers will be worn nearly full-time initially. We will decrease the amount of time required to be worn as time proceeds. The stability of your result depends on your compliance with your retainers, so please follow our directions regarding wear and care.

Remember to remove your retainers when you brush your teeth and also to brush your retainer(s) on the inside and the outside. If you lose or break your retainer, please call our office to make arrangements to obtain a replacement retainer.
