Retainer fitting
A custom device worn after braces or aligners to hold teeth in their new position.
When this is typically needed
- Recently completed braces or aligner treatment
- Due for a replacement retainer
What it involves
An impression or scan of your teeth to create a custom-fit retainer, either fixed or removable.
What to expect
Consistent wear, especially in the first year after treatment, is essential — teeth can shift back without it.
