Types of Retainers We Offer
Hawley Retainers:
The traditional wire retainers, known as Hawley retainers, are crafted from a combination of metal wires and sturdy acrylic designed to sit comfortably on the roof of your mouth. These retainers are adjustable and can be tweaked to correct minor tooth movements that may occur over time.
Clear Retainers:
For those seeking a more inconspicuous option, clear retainers might be the perfect fit. Made from a transparent plastic material, they snugly fit over your entire arch of teeth, virtually invisible to the casual observer. Our clear retainers are made using the latest in digital scanning technology to ensure a perfect fit.
Fixed Retainers:
For long-term orthodontic stability, fixed retainers are bonded to the inner surface of the teeth. This type of retainer is advisable for cases where there is a high risk of tooth movement. Dr. Freilich and his skilled team will discuss if this is the right option for you, ensuring that your individual needs are met.
Life with Retainers
When your braces come off, it’s a time to celebrate – and to start a retainer regimen. Dr. Freilich and the Lindbergh Orthodontics team will provide you with a personalized retainer schedule. Initially, you may need to wear your retainer all the time, but this will decrease as your teeth stabilize.
Caring for Your Retainers
Maintaining your retainers is as important as wearing them. They should be cleaned regularly to prevent plaque buildup and odors. We’ll provide you with all the instructions you need to care for your retainers, ensuring that they remain invisible, odorless, and effective at keeping your smile perfectly aligned.
