Three kinds of retainers, one goal
- Clear retainers: thin, invisible trays molded to your finished smile. The most popular choice.
- Hawley retainers: the classic wire-and-acrylic design. Durable, adjustable and repairable.
- Permanent (bonded) retainers: a slim wire fixed behind the front teeth. Zero effort, always working.
Retainers after braces, and years later
Wear is typically full-time for a short period, then nights only. Even if you finished braces decades ago (or somewhere else), we can replace lost retainers, bond a permanent wire, or make a fresh set from a quick digital scan. If your teeth have already shifted, a short round of aligners can bring them back before we retain them.
