After completing orthodontic treatment, retainers play a vital role in maintaining your newly aligned smile. Whether you have used braces or clear aligners, retainers help keep your teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Dr. Edgar Luna provides custom-made retainers that are comfortable, durable and designed to preserve your orthodontic results for the long term.
Why Are Retainers Important?
Teeth naturally shift over time, especially after orthodontic treatment. Wearing a retainer helps hold your teeth in place while your bone and gums stabilize around their new positions.
Common reasons to wear a retainer include:
- Maintaining the results of braces or aligner treatment
- Preventing teeth from shifting or crowding
- Supporting long-term oral health and bite function
- Reducing the risk of future orthodontic relapse
We will recommend the best type of retainer for your smile and help you understand how and when to wear it.
