You worked hard for that smile, so let's keep it. Custom retainers protect your results after braces or Invisalign and stop your teeth from drifting back.
Retainers in West Hills are the final, essential step of orthodontic treatment. Once your teeth are straight, they naturally want to shift over time. A retainer holds them in their new position so your investment lasts for years, not months.
Types of retainers
Permanent (bonded) retainers: a thin wire fixed behind your teeth, always working and never forgotten.
Removable retainers: clear or classic wire designs you wear on a simple schedule and take out to clean.
Lost or broke your retainer?
It happens, and the important thing is not to wait. Teeth can start shifting within days without a retainer. Call us and we will get you a replacement so your smile stays exactly where it should be.
Teeth can shift for life, so retainers are a long-term habit. Most patients wear them full-time for a short period after treatment, then switch to nights only to keep their smile in place.
What if I lost or broke my retainer?
Come in soon so your teeth do not shift. We make replacement retainers and can often get you back on track quickly. Call us and we will help right away.
Permanent or removable retainer, which is better?
Both work well. Permanent (bonded) retainers stay in place behind your teeth, while removable retainers come out for cleaning. We will recommend the best fit for your smile and habits.
