There’s nothing quite like the moment your braces come off—the joy, the relief, the pride in how far you’ve come. But your smile story doesn’t end here. At Shasta Orthodontics, we’re honored to help you protect the results you’ve worked so hard for with custom retainers.
Whether you’re fresh out of braces or looking to replace a lost retainer, we’re here to make sure your smile stays strong, steady, and beautifully aligned for years to come.
Wearing your retainer is more than just the final step in treatment—it’s the key to preserving the progress you’ve made and honoring your smile journey. Here’s why it matters:
Most patients wear theirs full-time for six weeks, then transition to nighttime wear. We’ll tailor a plan that fits your unique needs and goals.
It happens—and we’re here for you. Call us right away so we can replace it before your teeth begin to shift.
Gently clean it daily with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. You can also soak your in Retainer Bright® or Efferdent®. Always keep it in its case when not in use.
Even after braces, your teeth can shift. A retainer is your daily tool to maintain the beautiful results you’ve achieved.
