Retainers
Keep Your Smile Aligned for Life
Maintain Your Results, Protect Your Investment
After orthodontic treatment, your teeth need time to stabilize in their new positions.
Retainers help prevent shifting, ensuring your smile stays straight and your results last for years to come.
The Key to a Lifetime of Straight Teeth
What Are Retainers?
Retainers are custom-made oral appliances designed to hold your teeth in place after Invisalign or braces.
Depending on your needs, Dr. Klayman may recommend:
✔ Clear Retainers – Nearly invisible, similar to Invisalign trays
✔ Permanent (Fixed) Retainers – Bonded to the back of teeth for long-term stability
Wearing your retainer as directed ensures your smile stays aligned functional, and looks its best.
Protecting Your Smile, Long-Term
Without a retainer, teeth can gradually shift back, undoing months or years of treatment.
Dr. Klayman creates custom-fitted retainers for lasting comfort and effectiveness so your results stay intact.
What You Need to Know About Retainers
Most patients wear retainers full-time for the first few months, then transition to nighttime wear long-term.
Removable retainers should be taken out only with fixed retainers while eating or drinking anything other than water.
It’s crucial to replace it ASAP—even short gaps in wear can cause shifting. Contact us for a replacement as soon as possible.
Rinse it daily, brush gently with mild soap, and avoid hot water, which can warp the material.
