Your smile deserves to last a lifetime—and retainers help make that happen. At the end of your treatment, you’ll receive a custom retainer along with a final model of your perfectly aligned teeth. This model makes it easy to create replacement retainers in the future without needing a new scan or impression.

Wearing your retainer as directed keeps your teeth from shifting and protects the investment you’ve made in your smile. Whether it’s a clear retainer or a fixed option, we’ll make sure it fits comfortably and works with your lifestyle.

Retainer Care Tips

Taking care of your retainer is simple—and helps keep your smile looking its best! Here are a few easy tips:

  • Wear it as instructed to keep your teeth in place

  • Clean it daily with a soft toothbrush and cool water (avoid hot water—it can warp the retainer!)

  • Denture cleaning tablets used 1-2/week help keep them clean.

  • Store it in its case when not in use to protect it from damage or loss

  • Keep it away from pets—they love to chew on them!

  • Bring it to check-ups so we can make sure it still fits properly

With the right care, your retainer will help your smile stay exactly where it belongs.
