Permanent (Bonded) Retainers in West Hills

Permanent retainers in West Hills, also called bonded or fixed retainers, are a thin wire attached to the back of your front teeth. Because they stay in place, they hold your smile steady around the clock with nothing to remember and nothing to lose.

Why choose a permanent retainer

• Always working: no nightly wear-time to keep track of.
• Invisible: the wire sits behind your teeth, out of sight.
• Great for peace of mind: ideal if you know you would forget a removable retainer.

Caring for a bonded retainer

A permanent retainer needs a little extra attention when flossing, and we will show you a simple technique using floss threaders or a water flosser. With good care, a bonded retainer can protect your results for many years. We check it at your visits to make sure it stays secure.

Is it right for you?

Permanent and removable retainers both work well, and many patients use a combination. At a visit we will recommend the best fit for your teeth and your habits.
