Retainers help maintain the position of your teeth after orthodontic treatment and reduce the chance of teeth shifting back. Different types of retainers vary in material, design, thickness, and overall feel, so the right option should be chosen based on your teeth, previous orthodontic treatment, and daily use.
Finished your orthodontic treatment? Don’t forget that keeping your teeth in their new position is just as important as straightening them.

Why Do You Need to Wear a Retainer After Braces?
After braces or aligners are removed, your teeth can gradually move away from their new positions.
Wearing a retainer as recommended by your dentist helps maintain tooth alignment and preserve the result of orthodontic treatment.
Retainers are especially important after:
- Metal braces
- Damon braces
- Invisalign
- Other orthodontic treatments
How often and how long you should wear your retainer will depend on your individual case and your dentist’s recommendation.

Q: What is the difference between a clear retainer and a wire retainer?
A clear retainer is transparent and fits over the teeth, making it less noticeable when worn. A wire retainer is removable and uses a wire-and-acrylic design. The best option depends on your teeth, previous orthodontic treatment, and your dentist’s recommendation.

Q: How long should I wear my retainer?
The recommended wearing time varies from person to person. Your dentist will advise how often and how long you should wear your retainer based on your tooth alignment and treatment history.
