Learn more about how removable retainers can protect your results now!
Everyone’s teeth change positions over time — whether or not you have had braces — and a retainer preserves your ideal alignment. Wearing a retainer helps keep your teeth in place after orthodontic treatment.
At the end of your treatment, you will either receive a removable or a permanent retainer. No matter what your needs are, Dr. Lazzara will choose the best retainer options for your needs. A set of retainers is included in your treatment fee!
We offer two different types of removable retainers at Lazzara Orthodontics.
Here are some important care instructions that will help you meet your smile goals:
Depending where you are in your treatment, you will need to follow different wearing guidelines. At the beginning — sometimes called the retention phase — you will need to wear your appliance full-time.
After about six weeks of continuous wear, you will only need to wear it at night. Nightly retainer wear is an ongoing phase as retainer use will always be necessary throughout your life.
Regularly cleaning your retainer will help protect your teeth from harmful plaque buildup. Each retainer option requires different instructions for cleaning. Caring for retainers requires more than cleaning, though. Taking proper steps to care for your retainer will help you preserve your smile.
Getting results that last a lifetime requires wearing a retainer. Whether you wear a removable or permanent retainer, we have the expertise to help you achieve a beautiful and lasting smile.
