The final phase of your treatment is known as orthodontic retention. This period is essential for protecting the investment you have made in your smile. Once your braces are removed, your teeth require time to settle into their new positions. Without a precise retention plan, teeth can shift back toward their original alignment. We provide expert retention options to ensure your bite remains stable and secure for years to come.
Fixed Retainers
A fixed retainer, often called a bonded lingual retainer, is a thin wire attached to the back of your teeth. Because this wire is permanently secured by your orthodontist, it is a highly effective way to prevent shifting without the need to remember a removable tray. This option provides steady, 24/7 assurance that your teeth will stay in their ideal alignment.
How Do I Care For a Fixed Retainer?
It is important to keep the area around the wire clean to maintain your oral health. When you brush, pay close attention to the inside surface of your teeth. We also recommend being thoughtful about your bite, as hard or sticky foods can occasionally loosen the bond. If the wire ever feels loose, please contact us immediately so we can secure it.
Removable Retainer Club Subscription
For patients who utilize removable trays, we are proud to be the only practice in Corpus Christi offering 3D scans for the Retainer Club. This service is a reliable and affordable way to maintain your results without the worry of losing or breaking your last set.
Our process is simple:
- We take a precise digital scan of your teeth using our iTero™ scanner.
- We send the digital model to the Retainer Club.
- You select a subscription plan, and replacement removable retainers are delivered directly to your door.
Why is retention necessary?
Teeth are supported by living tissue that needs time to adapt to a new position. Our clinical process ensures that your teeth are supported during this transition, reducing the risk of a relapse. Consistent use of your retention plan is the most reliable method to keep your smile straight for a lifetime.
