What are retainers?
Retainers are dental devices used after orthodontic treatment to keep your teeth in their new, aligned position. They prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
Why do I need a retainer?
After wearing braces or clear aligners, your teeth may shift if not properly maintained. Retainers help hold your teeth in place while the bone and tissue adapt to the new position of your teeth.
How long do I need to wear my retainer?
The length of time you need to wear your retainer depends on your individual needs and the advice of your dentist. In most cases, you may need to wear your retainer full-time for the first few months and then part-time after that, especially during sleep.
Are retainers uncomfortable?
Retainers are custom-made to fit your teeth, ensuring comfort. While you may feel some discomfort when first wearing your retainer, it should gradually improve as you get used to it. If you experience persistent discomfort, contact us for an adjustment.
How much do retainers cost in Kitchener?
The cost of retainers varies based on the type you need and the complexity of your orthodontic treatment. During your consultation, we will provide an accurate estimate of the cost and discuss your options.
