Your smile's follow-up care.

After orthodontic treatment, your teeth naturally want to shift back to their original positions. A retainer maintains your new alignment by preventing that movement — without consistent use, teeth can shift and undo the progress you made.

Most patients wear their retainer full-time at first, then transition to nighttime wear indefinitely. Everyone's case is different, so we give you individualized instructions — but a retainer is genuinely a lifelong part of maintaining your smile.

Clear, comfortable, durable, removable retainers made from a strong, medical-grade plastic, backed by our Retainer Subscription Program.

Clean it daily with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush — avoid hot water, which can warp it. A mild soap or a retainer-cleaning solution both work well. For fixed retainers, thorough flossing and regular dental cleanings help prevent plaque buildup.

Contact our office right away — don't force it. A tight retainer usually means your teeth have shifted, even after a brief period without wearing it. We'll assess the fit and determine whether it needs replacing or your teeth need realigning.

Absolutely — our Retainer Subscription Program gives you access to new retainers for life. We'll walk you through exactly how it works at your appointment.
