Dental Retainers for Beautiful Smiles

Maintain your beautiful smile with dental retainers.

Your orthodontic journey shouldn’t end with the removal of your braces. This next step, known as retention, holds the teeth’s new position until your gums, bones, and muscles adapt to the new adjustments.

Apart from traditional and clear braces, Kapadia Orthodontics also provides retention solutions. Our range of Oviedo, FL dental retainers keep your teeth aligned even after braces.

Why You Need Retainers

All patients who undergo orthodontic treatment will require retainers.  Teeth have memory and want to return to their original positions.  Retainers maintain the results achieved during treatment and keep your teeth and jaws aligned.

Prior to the installation of your braces, orthodontists carefully analyze the structure of your teeth and jaws. This gives them a better insight on the best treatment to help your teeth move to its proper alignment. Your braces put pressure on the teeth to trigger changes, enabling movement. After the slow process, the teeth move toward the correct position.

The removal of braces, however, does not signify the end of the treatment. Dental retainers in Oviedo, FL secure the teeth in place. If you do not use retainers, you’ll return to square one with crooked teeth.

Types of Retainers

There are many types of retainers available, and the doctor will recommend the type that best suits your needs.  Clear plastic retainers, removable Hawley retainers, and permanent fixed retainers bonded behind your upper or lower front teeth all serve the same major purpose-they keep your smile as beautiful as the day you finished treatment.

Wearing Your Retainer

It is very important to wear your retainer as instructed!  Teeth move very quickly, so even minimal time away from retainers can result in relapse.  Initially, retainer wear will be full time, but soon after, wear can be switched to nights only.  Retention will be a lifelong commitment since teeth tend to shift throughout adulthood as our bodies and mouths change.

Cleaning Your Retainer

Clean your retainers with a toothbrush and toothpaste along with warm water.  This will ensure your retainers stay free from stains, plaque, and bad odors.

Protecting Your Retainer

Retainers can be broken.  Remember to place them in your retainer box when you are not wearing them.  Please keep your retainers away from pets. As silly as it may sound, pets are attracted to the saliva residues! To them, your expensive retainers are just another chew toy.

If you live in Oviedo, FL, Winter Springs, Geneva, Chuluota, or any of the surrounding areas, you can keep that beautiful smile with a pair ofdental retainers. Talk with our orthodontists to learn more about the crucial next step in your dental treatment.
