As you probably already know, without retainers, all the time you spent wearing braces could well be for nothing. It's easy to think that the hard work is over, and your teeth (now looking utterly beautiful) will magically remain spectacularly straight. However, retainers are responsible for making sure that your teeth don't move after you've finished your orthodontic treatment, keeping your confident new smile on the straight and narrow. Without retainers your teeth will slowly move back towards their pre-treatment position, an outcome that we're sure you are as keen as us to avoid!
More Durable - Invisalign retainer material is at least 30% stronger and twice as durable as other leading clear retainer materials.
Custom-Fit - Invisalign retainers are custom-fit for your smile, with your comfort in mind...which is important since you’ll wear it while you sleep.
Multiple Sets – you receive three sets of retainers so you can switch to a clean and fresh one every few months. Multiple sets also ensure there is always a back-up, so you stay in working retention. Plus, each smile is digitally stored, so getting replacements is easy.
Doctors who have used Invisalign retainers are more satisfied with them than with other retainers.
Contact us immediately if your retainer is lost, broken, or is not fitting properly. When coming to the practice, please bring your broken retainer.
Regardless of whether you had your treatment with us, we can still help you get your retainers replaced or new ones made.
The duration varies depending on your treatment plan, but most patients need to wear their retainer full-time for the first few months, then transition to nighttime wear indefinitely to maintain results.
Teeth can gradually shift back to their original positions, undoing your orthodontic results. Consistent use is key to keeping your smile aligned.
Rinse it with cool water after each use and gently brush it with a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water, which can warp the retainer. For deeper cleaning, use a non-abrasive denture or retainer cleaning solution.
Yes, retainers can crack, warp, or lose shape over time. If yours feels loose, tight, or damaged, contact your dentist or orthodontist for a replacement.
Contact your dental clinic immediately to get a replacement made. Delays can cause unwanted tooth movement, especially in the first year after braces or aligner treatment.
