RETAINERS

After all of the hard work you dedicate to your braces or Invisalign® treatment,
you deserve to love your smile for years to come.

Wearing your retainer is the final (and most important) phase of your
orthodontic treatment in Montgomery, Wetumpka or Millbrook. It’s up to you to
maintain your results through proper retainer wear and care!




WHAT DOES A RETAINER DO?

Your retainer is worn once your braces or Invisalign treatment is complete, and
it plays the key role of holding your teeth in their beautiful new position.

Once active orthodontic treatment is complete, your teeth are susceptible to
‘orthodontic relapse’, or reverting back to their original pre-treatment
positions. Your teeth require a period of retention to ensure that they
stabilize in the proper alignment. 


ESSIX CLEAR RETAINER

Our retainer of choice at Just for Grins Orthodontics is the Essix retainer!
This removable  retainer is similar to Invisalign; it’s a clear retainer made of
plastic, custom-made to cover the front and back surfaces of the teeth.

The best part about these types of retainers is that they can be taken out as
needed to eat, brush your teeth, and clean, unlike permanent retainers.


THE ‘DO’S AND DON’TS’ OF RETAINER WEAR & CARE


DO NOT

 * Do not expose your retainers to heat! Your retainer can melt or warp and
   become ineffective, so it’s important that you do not put them in the
   dishwasher, use hot water on them, or leave them in your car.
 * Do not leave your retainer around your pets. You don’t want to find out how
   much they love chewing retainers!


DO

 * Do put your retainer in your retainer case every time you remove it from your
   mouth. 

 * Do clean your retainer every time you brush your teeth. You can use a mild
   dish soap and an extra soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your retainer. 

 * Do clean your retainer case regularly. You want your clean retainer to be
   placed back in a clean carrying case every time. You can use a mild soap and
   lukewarm water to wash your retainer case daily, or at least a few times a
   week.

 * Do soak your retainer in a retainer cleaning solution (like Retainer Brite)
   to disinfect your retainer a few times a week.

 * Do clean your retainer before and after placing it in the mouth. Because the
   material used for fabrication is slightly porous, plaque tends to cling to
   the surfaces. Be sure to rinse the retainers thoroughly after cleaning to
   remove any cleanser or soap residue.


HOW LONG WILL I WEAR A RETAINER AFTER BRACES OR INVISALIGN?

After your braces or Invisalign treatment is over, you’ll be instructed to wear
your retainer every night. This is how we achieve and maintain the best
results! 

Because teeth have a tendency to shift throughout life, it’s important that you
wear your retainer at night, indefinitely.


RETAINER COST

You will receive one custom retainer as a part of your treatment plan. If you
happen to lose or break your retainer, there will be a replacement fee.

If you lose or damage your retainer, please let us know as soon as possible. Ask
us about our Retainer Replacement Program!
