The importance of retainers, from Wenger Orthodontics

If you recently completed treatment at Wenger Orthodontics, we’d like to congratulate you! Now that your braces have been removed, Drs. Terrence, Ryan, or Reid Wenger will provide—or has provided you—with a retainer. After braces are removed, teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers, however, always provide that stabilization. They are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by your orthodontist is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.
