Your new smile deserves to last a lifetime, and retainers play a critical role in keeping your teeth
exactly where they belong.
After completing braces or
Invisalign treatment, teeth naturally want to shift back
toward their original positions. Wearing retainers as directed helps maintain your results and protects
the time and investment you have made in your smile.
At Buffalo Grove Orthodontics, we recommend wearing retainers full time for the first four months after
treatment, followed by nighttime wear for life.
We provide clear, custom fit retainers made from precise digital scans. No messy impressions required.
These modern retainers are designed to be comfortable, durable, and easy to wear.
Our retainers do more than keep your teeth aligned. They also:
One set of retainers is included with every comprehensive orthodontic treatment plan.
Retainers do not last forever. They can become lost, damaged, or worn out over time. If a retainer is
lost or broken, it can take time to schedule an appointment and have a replacement made. During that
window, teeth can begin to shift and may require minor corrections.
Having backup retainers on hand helps ensure your smile stays protected without interruption.
As a courtesy to our patients, Buffalo Grove Orthodontics offers the option to purchase three additional
sets of retainers at a significant discount.
If you have a permanent retainer or an older style retainer, it may be time for an upgrade. Current
guidance favors clear, removable retainers for improved comfort, hygiene, and long term oral health.
Benefits
of switching include:
Buffalo Grove Orthodontics will remove your permanent retainer at no charge, a $150 value. When you order new top and bottom retainers at that visit, you will also receive a free at home Invisalign Professional Whitening System.
