Orthodontic retainers are essential for maintaining the beautiful results achieved through Invisalign or other orthodontic treatment. Our team understands that your straight smile represents a significant investment of time and resources, which is why we emphasize the critical importance of proper retention. Custom-fitted retainers hold your teeth in their new positions while the surrounding tissues adapt and stabilize, preventing the natural tendency for teeth to shift back toward their original positions.
Our team takes a thorough approach to retention planning, selecting the most appropriate retainer type based on your specific treatment, lifestyle, and long-term goals. We provide clear instructions on proper wear and care while monitoring your retention progress to ensure your orthodontic results remain stable for years to come. Our commitment to your long-term success extends beyond active treatment, ensuring you maintain the straight, healthy smile you worked so hard to achieve.
Retainers prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions after orthodontic treatment, protecting the time and investment you made in achieving your straight smile. Consistent retainer wear ensures your results last a lifetime.
Our team creates retainers that fit your mouth precisely, ensuring maximum comfort during wear while providing optimal retention of your orthodontic results. Custom-fitted retainers are more comfortable and effective than generic alternatives.
Proper retainer use maintains your orthodontic investment for life, preventing the need for retreatment and ensuring you continue to enjoy the confidence and oral health benefits of straight teeth. Regular monitoring ensures continued success.

Retainers are essential because teeth have a natural tendency to shift back toward their original positions after orthodontic treatment. The tissues and bone around your teeth need time to stabilize in their new positions. Without retainers, your teeth will gradually move, undoing the results of your orthodontic treatment.
Our team offers several retainer options including clear removable retainers similar to Invisalign aligners, traditional wire retainers, and fixed retainers that are bonded to the back of your teeth. We’ll recommend the best option based on your specific case, lifestyle, and retention needs.
Initially, you’ll typically wear retainers full-time for several months, then transition to nighttime-only wear. However, to maintain your results permanently, some level of retainer wear is recommended for life. Our team will provide specific instructions based on your individual treatment and goals.
Clean your retainers daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or specialized retainer cleaner. Avoid hot water which can warp the material. Store them in their protective case when not wearing them, and bring them to your dental appointments for professional cleaning and evaluation.
Contact our team immediately if your retainer is lost, broken, or no longer fits properly. Even a few days without retention can allow teeth to begin shifting. We can quickly create a replacement retainer to prevent any loss of your orthodontic results.
Our team recommends bringing your retainers to regular dental checkups so we can evaluate their fit and condition. As your mouth changes over time, retainers may need adjustment or replacement to continue providing effective retention of your orthodontic results.
Vivera retainers, created by Invisalign®️, are crafted from strong, transparent plastic. Each retainer is designed to maintain the patient’s smile with a precise, comfortable fit. Many patients appreciate that Vivera retainers are discreet and blend in easily during daytime wear. They’re also often described as slimmer and less bulky compared to other removable retainer options. Vivera retainers are FDA-registered medical devices designed for retention but also offer protection against mild teeth grinding (bruxism) by acting as a durable barrier.
