Why Retainers Are A Must Post-Braces09/02/2019
When it’s finally time for your orthodontist to remove your braces, you can take a big breath of relief. At Charlottesville Orthodontics, we want to remind you that although your braces are removed, that does not mean that your orthodontic journey is complete. The retention stage, which begins as soon as your primary treatment phase ends, is key to the success of the entire orthodontic process. For a minimum of 24 months, your teeth will not be rigidly set, and you will be responsible for consistently wearing your retainers. Retainers are designed to keep your teeth in place and prevent them from shifting. This is applicable for all our patients wearing braces, Invisalign, or adult braces. Our orthodontic team will ensure your teeth stay straight and aligned for a beautiful, bright smile!
