At Smile City Orthodontics, we offer three options of retainers.

• Hawley Retainer
• Clear Retainer
• Fixed Retainer

Which is the recommended retainer?

At the end of treatment, Dr. Jacob will discuss your retainer options and which type is best for your situation. It is very critical to wear your retainer as recommended by your orthodontist. If you don’t, your teeth will likely shift over time. Teeth shifting is a normal aging process that happens during the persons lifetime and they tend to go forward or backward even after treatment. Hence, it’s important to wear your retainers to prevent teeth from shifting.

What is the process of obtaining a retainer?

We scan your teeth at the end of the treatment using our 3D scanner (Yes, you heard it right!! No Messy gooey impressions). After we scan your teeth, we send the digital scan to our 3D printer to create models following which the thermoplastic material is adapted to the model using our Biostar machines. If you are interested in receiving a Hawley retainer we send the digital scans to our lab to make the retainers.

Is retainer included in my treatment?

Absolutely! As part of your treatment, we always provide one pair of retainers for both your upper and lower teeth. If, however, you need additional retainers, simply let us know, and we’ll be happy to make extra ones for you at an additional cost. Furthermore, there’s no need to worry about taking multiple impressions. Thanks to our advanced digital scanner, we can create as many models and retainers as needed with just a single scan.

How many pair of retainers can I get?

With our digital technology, we can use your digital teeth scans to get as many clear retainers you prefer. We offer single retainers either for your upper or lower teeth, 1 pair of upper/lower, and 4 pair of retainers.

Can I get retainers if I received orthodontic treatment from another orthodontic practice?

Certainly! We fully understand how important your smile is, which is why we want to ensure your teeth don’t shift. Furthermore, we’re always excited to welcome new smiling faces into our office and make sure they feel at home.
