Why Are Retainers Important?

After completing orthodontic treatment, retainers play a crucial role in keeping your teeth straight and preventing them from shifting back to their original positions. Teeth naturally move over time, but retainers help ensure your hard-earned results last a lifetime.

Types of Retainers We Offer

1. Removable Retainers

• Hawley Retainers: Durable, adjustable, and easy to clean, with a wire frame and acrylic base.
• Clear Retainers: Transparent and discreet, they look like aligners and are great for aesthetics.

2. Fixed Retainers

• A small wire bonded behind your teeth, providing long-term stability without the need for daily removal.

The Retainer Process at Minga Orthodontics

1. Final Fitting: After your braces or aligners come off, we custom-create your retainer to fit perfectly.
2. Wearing Schedule: You’ll initially wear your retainer full-time, transitioning to nighttime use as recommended.
3. Ongoing Care: Regular check-ups ensure your retainer remains in good condition and your smile stays flawless.

Caring for Your Retainer

• Clean Daily: Use a toothbrush and mild soap or retainer cleaner.
• Handle with Care: Avoid high heat or bending the retainer.
• Store Safely: Always keep your retainer in its case when not in use.
