Retainers – Protecting Your New Smile
At our Huntington Dental Specialty Clinic, we know how much effort goes into achieving a straight, healthy smile through orthodontic treatment. A retainer is an essential part of that process, helping to maintain your results and prevent your teeth from shifting back into their original position.
What Is a Retainer?
A retainer is a custom-made appliance, usually made of plastic, acrylic, or metal, designed to keep your teeth in place after braces or Invisalign treatment.
Types of Retainers We Offer
Removable retainers – Easy to take out for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Fixed retainers – Bonded discreetly to the back of the teeth for continuous support.
Clear retainers – Transparent for a natural look while maintaining your alignment.
Why Retainers Are Important
After orthodontic treatment, teeth and surrounding tissues need time to stabilize in their new positions. Wearing a retainer as prescribed by our orthodontic team ensures:
Your smile stays straight for years to come
You protect your investment in orthodontic treatment
You maintain proper bite and jaw alignment
Care and Maintenance
Keep your retainer clean by rinsing after use, brushing gently with a soft toothbrush, and storing it in its case when not in use. Regular check-ups help us make sure your retainer is fitting and functioning properly.
Our goal is to help you keep your smile as perfect as the day your braces or aligners came off.
