Step by step

After braces or aligners, the holding stage.

Illustrations only. Every case is different, and results differ from person to person.

  1. Braces or aligners finish

    When your teeth have moved into line, the braces come off or the last tray is finished.

  2. Your retainers are made

    Removable retainers are made to fit your teeth as they are now.

  3. Full-time at first

    You wear them full-time at first, as the dentist instructs.

  4. Then at night

    Later you wear them at night, as the dentist instructs.

  5. Keep wearing them

    Retainers are for the long term. Teeth can drift at any age if you stop.

Why they matter

Teeth tend to drift.

Straightening moves the teeth. Retainers are what keep them there.

After braces, teeth drift

Without a retainer, teeth tend to move back.

At any age

Teeth can drift at any age if retainers are stopped.

Follow the schedule

Full-time at first, then nights, as the dentist instructs.

Every patient gets them

Retainers follow every course of braces or aligners at Citismiles.
