Retainers
Retainers for Lasting Smiles
Shelly Orthodontics is committed to helping patients maintain their beautiful smiles long after orthodontic treatment is complete. One of the most important tools for preserving the results of braces or aligners is a retainer. At Shelly Orthodontics, we offer a range of high-quality retainers tailored to fit each patient’s unique needs and ensure their smile remains perfectly aligned.
Why Retainers Matter
Once braces or aligners have shifted teeth into their desired positions, the surrounding bone and tissues need time to stabilize. Without a retainer, teeth may gradually shift back to their original positions, undoing months or years of orthodontic work. Retainers play a crucial role in maintaining the alignment achieved during treatment.
Types of Retainers at Shelly Orthodontics
We provide various retainer options, including:
- Hawley Retainers
These durable, removable retainers are made of acrylic and a thin metal wire. They are customizable, allowing patients to choose colors or designs for a personalized touch.
- Clear Plastic Retainers
These virtually invisible retainers are molded to fit snugly over the teeth. Lightweight and discreet, they are a popular choice for patients seeking a less noticeable option.
- Fixed Retainers
Also known as bonded or permanent retainers, these are attached to the back of the teeth for continuous support. Ideal for patients at higher risk of tooth movement, they require regular cleaning and care.
Personalized Care and Guidance
At Shelly Orthodontics, patient education is a priority. Our team ensures each individual understands how to wear, clean, and care for their retainer. Regular follow-up visits help monitor progress and address any concerns.
By providing customized retainers and comprehensive support, Shelly Orthodontics empowers patients to enjoy their confident smiles for years to come. Protect your investment in a perfect smile with the trusted care of Shelly Orthodontics.
