What it is

The treatment, plainly explained.

Teeth want to shift. Retention is what keeps your treatment results stable long after your braces or aligners come off.

We design a retention plan tailored to your case, whether that’s clear retainers, a fixed wire behind your teeth, or a combination.

Who it’s for

Is this the right fit?

Every patient who has completed orthodontic treatment — with us or elsewhere. Retainers are not optional if you want results to last.

Treatment process

What to expect, step by step.

  1. Final scan

    A precise 3D scan captures your post-treatment bite.

  2. Retainer fitting

    You receive your custom retainers and detailed wear instructions.

  3. Check-in visits

    Periodic visits ensure your retainers fit and your teeth stay put.

  4. Replacement as needed

    Retainers wear out — we’ll replace them when it’s time.

Cost & payment

Care that fits your budget.

Interest-free monthly plans, most insurance accepted, and clear pricing — so you can focus on your smile, not the paperwork.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

How long do I need to wear retainers?
Forever, but the schedule changes. Full-time at first, tapering to nights only.
What if I lost my retainer?
Get in touch right away. The longer you wait, the more your teeth can shift.
I had braces years ago and stopped wearing my retainer — can you help?
Yes. We see patients in this situation regularly. We’ll evaluate the shift and recommend a path forward.
