Maintaining your beautiful smile is essential after completing orthodontic treatment. At Rockyview Dental Care, we offer high quality retainers to ensure your teeth stay in their new and precise position following your orthodontic treatment. The retainers are a vital step in your orthodontic journey, helping to preserve the results of your hard work and keep your smile looking its best for years to come.
A retainer is a custom made appliance designed to hold your teeth in their new positions following the completion of orthodontic treatment, such as Invisalign®. Retainers help prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original alignment, ensuring that you enjoy the results of your treatment long-term. Retainers can be made from various materials, including clear plastic or wire and acrylic, depending on your needs and preferences.
There are two main types of retainers: fixed and removable. Fixed retainers are bonded to the back of your teeth for continuous support, while removable retainers can be taken out for eating, cleaning or special occasions. Both retainer options help maintain the alignment of your teeth following orthodontic treatment, offering flexibility based on your lifestyle!
After completing orthodontic treatment, your teeth are more likely to shift back to their previous positions without the support of a retainer. Wearing your retainer as instructed by your dental professional will help ensure that your smile remains as beautiful as the day you finished your treatment! Retainers also support your bite and can help prevent potential issues like jaw pain or discomfort that might arise from misalignment.
The length of time you will need to wear your retainer depends on your individual treatment plan. Initially, you may be asked to wear your retainer full time, and gradually this may be reduced to nighttime wear only. The longer you wear your retainer as directed, the more successful you will be in maintaining your new smile. Regular checkups at Rockyview Dental Care will help us monitor your progress and make any adjustments needed to ensure your smile stays in perfect alignment!
