Retainers
Retainers are essential after braces or other orthodontic treatments to align your teeth. Southern Pointe Dental and Implants provides custom retainer options to help maintain your beautiful smile.
Affordable, Custom Retainers for Lasting Results
A dental retainer is a custom-fitted appliance that helps keep your teeth in place following orthodontic treatment. Retainers are available in different styles, including clear plastic models and thin metal wire options, to suit your preferences and needs. Our dentists work with you to select the best retainer type and provide guidance on how long it should be worn to maintain alignment.
-
How long should retainers be worn?
The length of time required to wear retainers varies by individual. Many patients wear them consistently for a few months, then transition to nighttime use. Your dentist will provide specific recommendations based on your needs to ensure long-term stability.
-
What is a permanent dental retainer?
A permanent retainer is a fixed wire bonded to the back of your teeth to keep them from shifting. This type of retainer is typically recommended for patients at high risk of tooth movement after orthodontic treatment, offering a durable and discreet option for maintaining alignment.
-
What are dental retainers made of?
Retainers are made from clear plastic or thin, durable metal wire. Clear plastic retainers are nearly invisible and removable, while metal wire retainers can be permanent or removable. We offer different options based on your preference and dental needs.
