Retainers are a crucial part of your orthodontic journey, ensuring your smile stays perfectly aligned for years to come. Over time, your teeth naturally try to shift back to their original positions even after braces or Invisalign®. That’s where retainers come in. They help protect the progress you’ve made and keep your teeth stable and aligned long after treatment ends.
Wearing your retainer as instructed by your dentist or orthodontist can make all the difference. It’s a simple step with a big impact, helping you avoid needing orthodontic treatment again in the future. Whether you’ve just completed treatment or need a replacement, we offer custom-made retainers in Port St. Lucie, designed to fit your smile and lifestyle.
Retainers are custom-made appliances designed to hold your teeth in their new positions after braces or orthodontic treatment. Without them, your teeth could gradually shift back to their original position. Retainers ensure that all the time and effort spent straightening your smile doesn’t go to waste.
We offer a variety of retainer options including:
These retainers are nearly invisible like Invisalign® trays, giving you a discreet and comfortable option. They are ideal for those who prefer a modern, subtle look.
These retainers combine a durable wire with a custom acrylic base, providing reliable results while allowing you to remove them for eating and cleaning.
A thin wire bonded to the back of your teeth. This option offers a permanent way to maintain alignment without having to remember to wear it daily.
It depends on your unique smile and the type of orthodontic treatment you received. In most cases, we recommend our patients wear their retainers full-time for the first few months after your braces or Invisalign® are removed. Once your teeth stabilize, you’ll likely transition to wearing it at night.
