A retainer is a device that keeps your teeth in position after your treatment. We offer two types of retainers:
- Wire retainer: We recommend a bonded wire retainer, as it is the most effective option for preventing your teeth from shifting out of their new position. With proper care, it can last 15 years or longer.
- Splint retainer: The splint retainer is similar to an aligner, but usually has more layers and is thicker. It only prevents your teeth from shifting out of their new position, if you wear them at least during night.
