Retainers are custom-made devices designed to hold your teeth in their new position after braces or aligners. They help prevent teeth from shifting back over time.
Your dentist will create a retainer that fits comfortably based on your teeth. You may be advised to wear it full-time at first, then switch to nighttime use to maintain results.
With proper care and consistent use, retainers help protect the progress you’ve made and keep your smile aligned long-term.
