At Premier Dental of Oakwood, we are committed to helping our patients enjoy the lasting benefits of their orthodontic treatment. Completing Invisalign therapy is a major accomplishment, but it’s only one part of your journey toward lifelong oral health. Wearing Invisalign retainers is a critical and ongoing step to maintaining your beautifully aligned teeth and preventing shifting.
After completing Invisalign treatment, your teeth still need support to remain in their new, corrected positions. Without the use of an Invisalign retainer, your teeth may slowly begin to shift back to their original alignment, compromising both the appearance and function of your smile. Misaligned teeth can lead to difficulty cleaning between teeth, uneven wear, and jaw discomfort. Wearing Invisalign retainers helps protect your investment in your smile and supports long-term oral health.
Invisalign retainers are clear, custom-made trays designed to fit snugly over your teeth. Much like your original Invisalign aligners, they are discreet and comfortable, but their purpose is to maintain rather than shift your teeth. At Premier Dental of Oakwood, we take precise impressions or scans to ensure your retainers are crafted for optimal comfort and effectiveness.
We advise most patients to wear their retainer overnight, although specific recommendations may vary depending on your treatment plan. Our dental team will guide you on how often and long you should wear your retainer to best preserve your results.
Maintaining your Invisalign retainer is essential for keeping both the appliance and your teeth in great condition. Rinse the retainer with lukewarm water after each use and gently brush it using a soft toothbrush and mild soap or Invisalign cleaning crystals. Avoid hot water, which can distort the plastic, and always store your retainer in its protective case when not in use.
We’ll provide detailed care instructions during your visit and are always available to answer any questions about retainer maintenance or replacement.
