Completing braces or aligner treatment is an exciting milestone—but your orthodontic journey does not end there. Without proper retention, your teeth may gradually shift back to their original positions—a process known as tooth movement or orthodontic relapse. That is why orthodontic retainers are a vital part of maintaining your new smile.
At Bean Orthodontics, we prioritize retention as a critical component of your overall orthodontic treatment. Whether you are wearing a Hawley retainer, a clear retainer, or a bonded retainer, consistent use is key to protecting the investment you made in your smile and preventing unwanted shifting.
Your custom retainer is included in most of our orthodontic therapy packages. We offer both removable retainers and permanent retainers, and we tailor each plan to fit your lifestyle and dental needs. Our team provides clear instructions for wear, thorough brushing, and proper oral hygiene, ensuring long-term success.
Replacement retainers are available if yours is lost or damaged, and we encourage periodic replacement for optimal performance. From traditional removable retainers to bonded lingual retainers, we make sure you have the tools and support needed to keep your tooth position stable.
Wearing your dental retainer as directed after active orthodontic appliances—like braces or Invisalign—is key to long-term success. We also recommend routine dental examinations with your family dentist to monitor the health of your teeth, plaque buildup, and the surrounding soft tissues. Proper flossing techniques and oral hygiene practices will help you avoid issues and maintain the results of your dental correction.
Whether you had minor adjustments or severely rotated teeth, the right orthodontic retainer will hold everything in place. We even provide an impression kit for replacement retainers if needed.
Your smile should last a lifetime—and with the right retainer plan, it can. Trust Bean Orthodontics to guide you through every stage of your orthodontic treatment, from active appliances to long-term retention. We are here to help you protect your smile with the right tools, techniques, and ongoing support.
