If you recently completed treatment with Bel Air Orthodontics, we'd like to congratulate you! Now that your braces have been successfully removed, Dr. Godwin will or has provided you with retainers.
After braces are removed, your teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers provide that stabilization. They are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes.
Wearing retainers exactly as instructed, says Dr. Godwin, is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.
To learn more about retainers, the advantages of wearing retainers after your orthodontic treatment, and how to properly care for them, visit the Retainer Instructions section of our website.
