RetainersIn Lititz
You’ve dedicated time and effort to achieving a beautifully aligned smile. Now it’s important to protect those results and keep your smile in great shape with the right retainer.
Why do I need retainers?
Simply put, teeth naturally want to move. Although orthodontic treatment places your teeth in their ideal positions, they have a tendency to drift back toward their original locations over time. In addition, the surrounding tissues and the normal forces of everyday life can gradually cause teeth to shift throughout life. Without retainers, teeth may begin to crowd, develop spaces, or move out of alignment, affecting both the appearance of your smile and your bite. Retainers are the key to protecting your orthodontic investment, and wearing them as instructed is the best way to keep your smile healthy, beautiful, and aligned for years to come.
Fixed Retainers
A fixed retainer is discrete wire that is bonded to your teeth with dental cement. Because it is "glued" to your teeth, you wont have to remove it when eating. This added support helps maintain alignment in areas most prone to shifting.
Removable Hawley Retainers
Hawley retainers feature a blend of durable plastic and metal wires to maintain your aligned smile. These removable devices are built to last, are easy to fix if damaged, and can be customized with various colors to match your personality.
