Why are retainers important after orthodontic treatment?

Retainers play a crucial role in maintaining the results of your orthodontic treatment. After braces or clear aligners, your teeth can naturally shift back to their original positions. Our St. Albert dental retainers help keep your teeth in their new, corrected positions, ensuring that your hard-earned smile stays perfect for years to come.

At St. Albert Braces Orthodontics, we offer a range of retainer options, including clear removable retainers, traditional removable retainers, and fixed wire retainers, to meet your needs and preferences.

Learn more about retainers

When will I receive my retainer?

We’ll get you set up with a custom retainer immediately after your braces are removed or your orthodontic treatment is completed. Our team will take impressions or scans of your teeth to ensure your retainer fits perfectly.

How long should I wear my retainer?

The duration of retainer wear varies depending on your individual needs. Generally, retainers are worn full-time initially, then can be reduced to nighttime use as advised by Dr. Tarek El-Bialy.

How do I care for my retainer?

Proper care involves regular cleaning and maintenance. For removable retainers, clean them daily with a toothbrush and mild soap. Fixed retainers require regular dental check-ups to ensure they remain in good condition.

How will I know if my retainer needs adjustment?

You should visit us regularly for check-ups, during which we’ll assess the condition and fit of your retainer. If you experience discomfort or notice any changes in how your teeth align, let us know so we can make the necessary adjustments.

Can I eat with my retainer in?

For removable retainers, it is best to remove them during meals to prevent damage and ensure effective cleaning. Fixed retainers don’t require removal, but you should avoid sticky or hard foods that could damage them.

Are there any specific foods or drinks I should avoid with my retainer?

Yes, with removable retainers, avoid consuming sugary or acidic drinks and foods that could cause decay or damage to the retainer. Fixed retainers should be kept clean and free from sticky or hard foods that might cause breakage.
