Orthodontic retainers
Why is wearing a retainer after braces necessary?
Getting a retainer after braces is a surefire way to prevent your smile from shifting out of place, protecting your smile investment for years to come. Once you have finished your initial treatment, we will prescribe the best retainer option for your smile needs.
Because of a process called mesial drift, your teeth naturally want to shift out of position. This is why wearing and caring for your retainer gives you the best results from your orthodontic treatment.
The cost of retainers
Wearing a retainer is essential to protecting your new smile alignment. Every 3-5 years, you need to replace your removable retainer, which can run up to $600 or more at some orthodontic practices.
