Once your orthodontic treatment with Invisalign® or braces is complete, you’ll start wearing your custom retainer. Your retainer plays the key role of holding your teeth in their beautiful new position to prevent them from ‘relapsing’.
Once active orthodontic treatment is complete, your teeth are susceptible to ‘orthodontic relapse’, or reverting back to their original pre-treatment positions. Your teeth require a period of retention to ensure that they stabilize in the proper alignment.
At the beginning of your retention phase, you’ll be instructed to wear your retainer full-time for one year. This is how we achieve and maintain the best results.
After about a year, you’ll be able to reduce your wear to nights only. Because teeth have a tendency to shift throughout life, it’s important that you wear your retainer at night, indefinitely.
There are two types of retainers, removable retainers and fixed retainers.
Removable retainers are similar to Invisalign clear aligners. They’re custom-designed just for you, and can be taken out as needed to eat, clean your teeth, and clean your retainer. We provide the custom Vivera™ retainer, a high-quality, clear retainer made by Invisalign and Align technology!
Fixed retainers, or permanent retainers, are bonded to your teeth and cannot be removed without your orthodontist. These retainers include a small metal wire, custom-designed to fit behind the teeth. They’re generally bonded to the back surface of the bottom teeth, but can also be used behind the top teeth depending on your condition.
Your retainer cost for your initial set is included in your treatment plan cost.
In the event that you lose or break your retainer, there will be a replacement fee. This is why we recommend our +SmileLOCK program to significantly reduce your potential retainer replacement costs.
If you lose or damage your retainer, please let us know as soon as possible. We want you to have a new retainer as soon as possible to prevent your teeth from relapsing out of place.
We’ll help you make the right decision for your smile. Request your complimentary consultation today.
