If you recently completed treatment at Melanie Parker Orthodontics, we’d like to congratulate you! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Parker will provide—or has provided you—with retainers. After braces are removed, teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers, however, provide that stabilization. They are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by Dr. Parker is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.
To learn more about the advantages of wearing retainers after your orthodontic treatment, ask Dr. Parker during your next visit or give us a call!
