Why You NEED To Wear Your Retainers

The big day has finally arrived! It’s braces removal day. You say goodbye to those braces you've been sporting and flashy that super straight smile out the door...only to return later to have your removable retainer fitted…what?

You see when you reach the end of your braces journey your teeth have been subtly shifting over the final few months into their delightfully perfected resting place. However, you should know that it takes many months to complete stabilization of positioning of teeth, which is why it is important to wear your retainers after your braces are removed!

We know that it is not the news you want to hear after your newfound freedom. But don't worry, you'll get used to it!

Trust us, as you've been doing so far, you wouldn’t want to invest all that time and money only to not wear your retainers and risk some of your teeth relapsing to their former incorrect resting place would you?

Let those lovely osteoblasts and osteoclasts do their job and give them all the support you can, and you will enjoy your gorgeous new smile for life!
