As the name implies, “retainers” stabilize the result of orthodontic treatment so that the teeth won’t move again. Retainers can be removable or fixed. We provide both types of retainers at no cost to the patient.

​

Removable retainers can also serve as tooth whitening trays using whatever product(s) the patient prefers. Perhaps half of our adult patients these days were treated elsewhere in their teens but experienced relapse movements of their teeth as adults requiring retreatment. This can be avoided in most cases with bonded retainers.

 

Once orthodontic treatment is completed, periodic retainer checkups are complimentary indefinitely. There will be small fee to replace missing or broken retainer.
