Retainers are a branch of dentistry that focuses on maintaining the stability and alignment of the teeth after orthodontic treatment. This involves the use of devices such as wires, or clear aligners that are worn by the patient for a period of time to prevent the teeth from shifting back to their original position. Contact the staff at Brockman Orthodontics for an appointment and see how we can help you!

Hawley Retainers

The Hawley retainer, one of the most common types, is a removable retainer made of a combination of metal wires and sturdy acrylic, and is designed to keep your teeth in place. This retainer is specially made from impressions of your teeth so that it fits snugly and comfortably in the roof of your mouth, while any wire or acrylic framing keeps your teeth in perfect position. The acrylic can also be personalized with a large number of colors and/or patterns.

Fixed Retainers

Bonded lingual retainers are cemented directly to the inside surface of your lower canines (eye teeth). This is one of the best ways to prevent your lower teeth from shifting as it is permanently attached! As with removable retainers, it is important to keep them clean. When brushing, carefully clean the inside of your lower teeth as well as the wire. If your retainer breaks at any time during the retention phase, please do not adjust it yourself. Call us immediately to schedule an appointment.

Clear Retainer

The clear retainer is a clear removable retainer that fits over the entire arch of teeth. Clear retainers have no metal wires and are virtually invisible. They are very durable, inexpensive and easy to wear.
