When your braces come off or you're finished with your last Invisalign® aligner, that doesn't mean your treatment is complete. The retention phase is just as important as your active treatment! Retainers are utilized to hold your teeth in their newly corrected positions. Think of your retainers as a life-long commitment, because your teeth can shift and move throughout your life. As we age, our skin changes, our eye-sight changes, our hearing changes, and so do our bones. Guess what, our teeth can move as well. That's why it is so important to wear a retainer when our orthodontic treatment is completed.
We offer clear Vivera™ retainers, traditional metal wire retainers (Hawley retainers), and fixed wire retainers (behind the teeth). Please speak with the doctors or our highly trained orthodontic technicians to discuss all of your options. Here at Cohen Orthodontics, we want to make sure you make the right choices regarding your retainer needs.
