Custom Retainers
Custom retainers that hold your teeth in place after treatment or replace one that no longer fits.
A retainer is a custom appliance that keeps your teeth in their correct position. It is most often used after braces or clear aligners to protect that result, but it can also replace a retainer that was lost, broken, or no longer fits well. Each one is made from an exact impression of your teeth.
Dr. Pandya takes a digital scan or impression of your teeth, and your retainer is crafted to fit them precisely. We check the fit, make any small adjustments, and show you how and when to wear it. Whether you need a fixed or removable style, it is built for comfort and daily use.
Teeth naturally drift over time, and a retainer is the simplest way to keep them from shifting back. Wearing it as directed protects the time and money you invested in a straight smile. A well-made retainer is comfortable enough to wear without a second thought.
