Our team offers orthodontics of all kinds to help kids, teens, and adults on their path to an even smile. To take on minor cases or to help you maintain even smiles following braces, we can create a retainer. In today’s blog, your team at Riverside Dental Group talks about how retainers help smiles of all ages.
Help for Kids and Teens
A retainer is a custom-made oral appliance that is worn daily. This can be removable, and if so, will require soaking and other care. We could also have this fixed to your smile, which remains in place the entire time. For young children and teens, we often opt for the fixed option as this helps ensure the oral appliance is not lost, sparing interruptions to treatment and the need to shell out money for replacements.
For young children, this could be part of our approach to interceptive orthodontics, care that is administered as young as age seven to help guide smile growth and limit misalignment. For teens, this could address more minor misalignment or be prescribed following braces to help keep teeth in place as the jawbone reforms around the new positions.
Helping Smiles in Adulthood
Our team could also offer retainers for adults. As with teens, these custom oral appliances could help ease the appearance of minor misalignment, such as cases in which teeth have shifted following braces or aligner treatments. This could also simply correct more minor cases of poor alignment. Again, we could offer removable or fixed options, and each is custom-fitted for your bite.
Starting Treatment
If you have misalignment, you should contact our team. We will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your misalignment so we can choose the most appropriate orthodontic treatments for you. Retainers can help smiles of all ages, but we also have traditional and esthetic braces, Invisalign® aligners, and more to shift your smile and offer better oral health and a more attractive appearance. If you have any questions about how our retainers help smiles of all ages, then contact our team today to learn more and start your journey to an even smile!
