ORTHODONTIC RETENTION

The retention phase begins immediately after treatment and is an important step in maintaining your new smile. For the first year, retainers should be worn 14–16 hours per day. After that, patients transition to wearing their retainers at night for life—to help keep teeth in their ideal positions.

We also offer a retainer replacement program called Smile Secure, so please ask one of our team members for more details.

Be sure to remove your retainer before brushing your teeth, and gently clean your retainer before placing it back in your mouth.
