Retainers: What Are They, Benefits and Cost
Keep your new smile for a lifetime.
Wearing your retainers after your treatment is just as important as the treatment itself. Based on your treatment, your orthodontist will recommend the type of retainers that will suit you best.
The structures around your teeth take time to adjust to their new positions. Your retainers are fixed or removable little devices that will hold and stabilize your teeth in position after completing your treatment.
