Retainers
After Braces or Invisalign
A retainer is a custom-made appliance worn after orthodontic treatment to keep your teeth in their new position.
Teeth naturally tend to shift over time due to biologic memory and everyday forces. Retainers are essential to maintain your results.
Types of Retainers
Clear Retainer
Transparent retainer that fits over your teeth to help maintain alignment.
Fixed Wire Retainer
Thin wire bonded behind the front teeth for continuous support.
Hawley Retainer
Removable retainer with acrylic and wire for a precise fit.
Which Retainer is Right for You?
The choice of retainer depends on your specific case and long-term stability needs.
Dr. George Bardawil will evaluate your treatment and select the most appropriate retention plan to ensure lasting results.

Retention Protocol
Teeth remain in continuous movement over time, which makes retention essential after orthodontic treatment.
• Initial phase: more frequent wear
• Long-term: night-time wear
