We know how hard you’ve worked to get that healthy, beautiful smile. Our goal is to make sure it stays exactly where it belongs so you can keep sharing it for years to come. Think of your retainers as the final piece of the puzzle that keeps everything in place.
Why Do I Need a Retainer After Treatment?
It’s natural for teeth to want to drift back toward where they started once your braces or Invisalign treatment is complete. A retainer provides the gentle support needed to keep your teeth stable while your jawbone and gums adjust to their new positions. We’ll help you choose the right one so your investment in your smile is protected.
The Different Types of Retainers
Every smile is unique, so we offer a few different options to fit your lifestyle and your needs:
Clear Retainers
These look a lot like Invisalign clear aligners and are made of a thin, transparent material that fits right over your teeth. They’re very popular because they’re comfortable and discreet.
Hawley Retainers
These are the classic removable retainers made from a durable acrylic base and a thin metal wire. They’re very sturdy, and we can even customize them with fun colors.
Bonded Retainers
Also known as fixed retainers, these are small wires bonded to the back of your front teeth. Since they stay in your mouth all the time, you never have to worry about forgetting to wear them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I wear my retainer?
We usually recommend wearing removable retainers for most of the day — about 18 to 24 hours — right after your treatment ends. As your smile stabilizes, we’ll let you know when it’s okay to switch to wearing them only at night.
What if I lose or break my retainer?
We deliver peace of mind through our comprehensive support plans. All patients receive 1 full year of complimentary repairs to ensure their retention remains effective. For those seeking maximum security, ask our specialists about Lifetime Retainers, which provides unlimited retainer replacements for a small copay of $39 per set.
Can I get a retainer even if I wasn't a patient here?
Absolutely! Whether you just moved to the area or finished your treatment years ago with someone else, we’re happy to help. We can use the iTero™ scanner as a planning and diagnostic tool to scan your smile and bite, creating a custom retainer that fits perfectly.
