Retainers
We will fabricate a retainer for you once your braces are removed. Once braces are removed, teeth have a tendency to shift naturally over time. It is crucial that you wear your retainer to prevent your teeth from moving. We will advise wear instructions once treatment is completed.

A fixed retainer is a small wire that is cemented to the back of the teeth. There are dietary and oral hygiene considerations that go along with this type of retention appliance.
