Retainers are custom-made devices that hold teeth in place after orthodontic treatment. These devices help maintain the alignment of teeth, ensuring a lasting, beautiful smile.
The process of getting a retainer is simple. After your orthodontic treatment, your orthodontist will take an impression of your newly aligned teeth. This mold is used to create a retainer that fits your mouth perfectly.
Retainers offer numerous benefits beyond maintaining tooth alignment. They can also help address minor speech issues and prevent nighttime grinding. Regular use aids in the longevity of orthodontic results, safeguarding your investment in your smile.
