What Are Retainers?
Retainers are custom made dental appliances designed to hold your teeth in their corrected position after orthodontic treatment.
Retainers help:
- Prevent teeth from shifting
- Maintain orthodontic results
- Support long term smile alignment

Without proper retainer use, teeth can gradually move back toward their original positions.
