When we remove your braces, we will begin the retention stage of your treatment that lasts for 24 months. Our in-house lab technician will custom design your retainers for you. Your final orthodontic result depends on your retainers, so follow through with the hard work you’ve put in so far by wearing your retainers as instructed. Remember to remove your retainer before brushing, and brush your retainer before placing it back in your mouth.
