You did it! Once we remove your braces or Invisalign® aligners, we move into the retention stage. You worked hard for your new smile, so keeping those results is the most important part of your journey, and your retainers are the secret to success.
Why Do You Need a Retainer?
It’s totally normal for teeth to want to shift back toward where they used to be. Your retention phase will last at least 20-24 months to help your bone and gums settle around your new smile. Your final results depend on your retainer usage, so let’s keep up that amazing progress together.
Types of Retainers
We offer a few personalized options to fit your lifestyle. We’ll help you pick the one that’s right for you.
- Hawley Retainers: One of the most common types, this is a removable retainer made of a thin metal wire and a sturdy acrylic base that sits comfortably against the roof of your mouth. The best part? We can personalize the acrylic with your favorite colors or patterns.
- Fixed Retainers: A fixed retainer is a small wire bonded directly to the inside of your lower teeth. Since it’s permanently attached, you don’t have to worry about forgetting to wear it! It’s one of the best ways to keep your bite straight. Just remember to brush carefully around the wire to keep it clean.
- Vivera™ Clear Retainers: If you’re looking for something nearly invisible, Vivera clear retainers fit right over your teeth like a thin tray. They are very durable and easy to wear, making them a popular choice for those who want to show off their new smile without any wires.
Retainers Reviews
Beckstrom Orthodontics is FANTASTIC! Both of my boys have had their braces (& then retainers done here). Both have had a great experience! The staff is very welcoming & nice. I would absolutely recommend Beckstrom to anyone & everyone!
Everything went great. Timely and courteous. But can’t get correct retainers.
Super friendly staff and Professionalism at its best, took my braces off and got retainers here, process was all smooth and convenient✌️
Myself, and two of my children have had braces through this local business, as well as my third child needing retainers after her orthodontic care in another city, the service and the care is amazing, they go above and beyond
Dr. Beckstrom was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. His staff is very nice and they are very good at what they do! I had gone to a different orthodontist in high school and had a bad experience so this was so refreshing. I just got my braces off and have entered the retention phase. I get nonstop compliments and my confidence is at an all time high:) thank you so much!!!! I definitely recommend and you can finance if needed.
