Why Retainers Matter After Braces or Aligners

Retainers protect the result after orthodontic treatment. Here is why they matter and how they fit into long-term care.

Teeth can shift after braces or aligners because the gums and bone need time to settle. Retainers help hold the new position.

Fixed and removable options

Some patients use fixed retainers, removable retainers or a combination. The right choice depends on your bite, habits and treatment history.

A small habit protects a big result

Retainers are simple, but they matter. Wearing and caring for them properly helps protect the time and effort already invested in your smile.
