Retainers & Nightguards
To Keep That Great Smile,
It Is Important to Wear Your Retainers
The most common retainers are the clear Invisalign type and the Hawley acrylic type.
If your retainers are lost or damaged, please contact us immediately to have a replacement made.
Orthodontic retainers are important for several reasons:
- Maintaining Teeth Alignment: Without retainers, there’s a risk of teeth shifting back to their original positions, undoing the improvements made during treatment. Retainers provide a stable structure to hold the teeth in their corrected position.
- Protecting Investment: Orthodontic treatment can be a significant investment of time and money. Wearing retainers as prescribed by Dr. Bob ensures that this investment is protected by maintaining the results achieved through the treatment.
- Preserving Bite Alignment: Retainers not only keep teeth straight but also help preserve the alignment of the bite which is important for proper chewing function and overall dental health.
- Enhancing Confidence: Straight teeth contribute to a confident smile. By wearing retainers, individuals can continue to enjoy the aesthetic benefit of a straight smile, which can boost self-esteem and confidence.
NIGHTGUARDS
Wearing a night guard while you sleep can help reduce wear and tear from clenching or grinding your teeth. It can also help relieve jaw pain, headaches, facial pain and other symptoms of TMJ disorder.
