Retainers

Holding the work you've already done.

What it is

Keeping Your Smile Where It Belongs.

Teeth move gently over time. A retainer is a thin, custom appliance that helps hold your teeth in the position you worked to achieve, whether after Invisalign, braces, or cosmetic treatment. Worn as directed, it helps protect your result long term.

Ours are made from your own teeth for a precise, comfortable fit. We adjust it in the office, walk you through your wear schedule, and replace it when it is time for a fresh one.

When a retainer matters.

  1. i.

    You've just finished Invisalign or braces.

    The final tray isn't the finish line — a retainer is what holds the result in place from here on.

  2. ii.

    You've invested in veneers, bonding, or cosmetic work.

    Stable teeth keep restorations looking right. A retainer holds the alignment your cosmetics were designed around.

  3. iii.

    Your old retainer no longer fits, or you've lost it.

    A new impression, a new appliance — before the small drift becomes a visible one.

  4. iv.

    You've noticed your teeth shifting over the years.

    Natural drift is gradual. We can take a fresh impression and make a retainer to settle things where they belong.
