What Are Retainers and Why Do You Need Them?
Congratulations on completing your orthodontic treatment! But did you know your teeth are still settling into their new positions? That’s where retainers come in. These custom-made devices are designed to keep your teeth in their perfect alignment, preventing them from shifting back to their old positions.
Whether you’ve had braces or aligners, retainers are a must for the long-term health and beauty of your smile. While the job of braces is to move teeth, the job of retainers is to maintain the new alignment for years to come.
Caring for Your Retainer
A little care keeps your retainer working for years.
How Long Should You Wear a Retainer?
Right after treatment you will usually wear your retainer most of the day for a while, then shift to nights only. This gives the bone and tissues around your teeth time to settle.
For lasting results, night wear becomes a long term habit. Every case is different, so Dr. Freeman gives you a schedule that fits your smile.
