Who Needs Dental Retainers?

Dental retainers are recommended for people who have completed braces or clear aligner treatment and want to maintain their corrected tooth positions.

Without consistent retainer use, teeth can gradually move over time. Wearing retainers as directed helps preserve your straight smile and the results of orthodontic treatment.

Retainer wear schedules vary from patient to patient. Your dentist or orthodontic provider will explain how often and how long you should wear your retainer.
