Why Retainers Are Crucial After Braces or Invisalign
Retainers are the final step in your orthodontic treatment plan. Once braces or Invisalign move your teeth into ideal alignment, your body still needs time to adjust. Without a retainer, your teeth may shift back into their old positions, a process called orthodontic relapse.
- Prevent teeth shifting
- Maintain your investment
- Support long-term smile health
Types of Retainers We Offer
We customize your retainer based on your specific smile and lifestyle needs. Options include:
-
Hawley Retainers: Acrylic base with metal wire. Durable and adjustable.
-
Essix (Clear) Retainers: Thin, transparent plastic. Nearly invisible and comfortable.
-
Fixed/Bonded Retainers: Attached behind your teeth for full-time protection without reminders.

What to Expect: Fittings, Wear Time & Follow-Ups
We use digital impressions for a precise, comfortable fit – no goopy molds required!
Most patients wear retainers full-time for the first 3-6 months, then switch to nighttime wear only.

How to Care for Your Retainer
Taking care of your retainer extends its lifespan and keeps your mouth healthy:
- Clean daily with mild soap and water (no hot water!)
- Avoid soaking in mouthwash or using harsh cleaners
- Always store in a retainer case when not in use
- Keep out of reach of pets – they love to chew them!

“Dr Redmond was great! I had braces as a teenager but did not wear my retainer like I was supposed to so I wanted to see if I could get them straightened with liners because I was not going to to wear braces again! He walked me through the process he uses and I really like it. He is very friendly and I really love Tracy! She has been with Dr Redmond for 30 years so she knows how to run the office like a BOSS! All the girls are great and friendly. I highly recommend you go see them for your orthodontist needs. Make sure to let them know I sent you!”
