Clear retainers are the best way to keep your beautiful smile after orthodontic treatment because they are both effective and discreet. We at Specialty Smiles know many of our patients want retention solutions that are almost invisible but still do the job of protecting their orthodontic investment. Our patients are choosing clear retainers more and more because they work great and don’t affect how you look at work or in social situations during the retention phase.
Because clear retainers are see-through, you can wear them. This means you can wear them without anyone knowing. This is especially helpful if you have a job or live with people. Clear retainers are replaced every 1-3 years. If your retainer is cracking, clouding or not fitting properly and not holding your teeth in place well. We may check the state of your teeth during regular dental visits to make sure your orthodontic results are safe.
Clear retainers are good for more than how they look and how well they keep your teeth in place. Many patients say retainers protect their teeth from grinding them at night which can cause a lot of damage over time. Also clear retainers are more comfortable on your tongue and cheeks since they have a smooth surface. Wire retainers on the other hand can irritate your tongue and cheeks if you wear them for a long time.
People in North Miami like how easy clear retainers make things during the retention phase. Unlike fixed retainers which need special maintenance the removable design makes it easy to clean and eat normally. You can also take off your clear retainers for special events or professional photos if you really need to.
The cost of replacing a clear retainer is a small part of the overall cost of your orthodontic work. It makes sense financially to follow the rules for your retainer to protect thousands of dollars of treatment. Most dental insurance plans pay for some of the cost of replacing retainers but the amount of coverage varies by provider and policy.
