This treatment would be highly recommended when your braces are removed. The retainer works by preventing your teeth from moving and becoming crowded or crooked again. The retainer helps your great new smile last a lifetime if worn as instructed.
What to expect with your retainer:
The retainer is easy to use as it slips over your teeth. For the first few days, it may take getting used to. You may even experience some discomfort. Normal over-the-counter medication will work best for minor discomfort. You may be required to wear your retainer for 24 hours a day for your first year. Thereafter, you may be required to wear it only occasionally.
