Keep Your Teeth Perfectly Aligned

Retainers are dental devices that keep your teeth in their newly aligned positions after orthodontic treatments like braces or Invisalign. They help prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions, ensuring the long-term success of your smile transformation. Retainers can be removable or fixed and are custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably. At BioDental, we offer same-day, 3D-printed retainers that provide ideal fit and reliable results, ensuring your smile stays beautifully aligned for years to come.

What is the Retainer Process?

The retainer process begins with a consultation with Dr. Matian, during which your teeth and bite will be evaluated. If you’ve recently completed orthodontic treatment, Dr. Matian will take digital scans of your mouth to ensure a precise fit. Based on these scans, a custom retainer is created. At BioDental, we offer same-day, 3D-printed retainers for immediate use. Once your retainer is ready, Dr. Matian will ensure it fits comfortably and provide instructions on how to wear, care for, and maintain it for optimal results.

How Long Do I Need to Wear My Retainer?

After your orthodontic treatment, you will initially need to wear your retainer full-time for a few months. This allows your teeth to settle into their new positions. Over time, Dr. Matian will guide you on reducing the wear time to nights only, which is typically sufficient to maintain alignment. The longer you wear it, the better the chances your teeth will stay in place long-term.

How Often Should I Clean My Retainer?

It’s important to clean your retainer regularly to maintain hygiene. Clean your retainer daily with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. You can use a non-abrasive toothpaste or a special retainer cleaning solution. Avoid hot water, as it can distort the retainer’s shape. Keeping your retainer clean helps prevent plaque buildup, which can cause odor or bacteria growth.

What Happens if I Don’t Wear My Retainer?

If you neglect to wear your retainer as instructed by Dr. Matian, your teeth may begin to shift back to their original positions. This can compromise the results of your orthodontic treatment and may require additional time or procedures to correct. Wearing your retainer as directed is essential to keeping your smile intact and preventing the need for further orthodontic work.
