Achieving your dream smile takes dedication, and we are here to help you preserve those results for a lifetime. Retainers serve as the vital final step in your orthodontic journey, ensuring your teeth stay in their ideal positions. Whether we guided your initial treatment or you are new to our family, our board-certified orthodontist provides personalized retention plans to protect your investment.
Personalized Retainer Options
We offer various types of retainers to fit your lifestyle and specific dental needs. During your visit, we will help you choose the best option to keep your smile secure.
Clear Retainers
These transparent trays fit snugly over your teeth, and are a popular, discreet choice for adults and teens. You’ll initially wear them for 18-24 hours a day before transitioning to night-only wear.
Fixed or Bonded Retainers
We often recommend fixed retainers for patients with a higher risk of tooth movement. A thin, custom-fitted wire is bonded to the back of your teeth, usually the lower front row.
Orthodontic Retainers Reviews
I finally got my Invisalign treatment finished up. I am now fitted for the lifelong retainers. I really loved working with Alpha orthodontics. They explain everything along the way. I feel comfortable bringing up questions that I have. The staff is fantastic!
As an adult I had to have some oral surgery done to correct a jaw issue, after my surgery I was left in need of a dental implant! My oral surgeon had recommended to me to do a consultation for orthodontic care prior to the implant, cause once that was in straightening out my off centered midline as well as a few other alignment issues wasn't gonna be an option. I chose to consult Dr Leonard after he had done an amazing job on my daughters orthodontic treatment, and we were extremely happy with the results as well as the affordable payment plan they allowed for working families. As usual I was greeted with a warm welcome even though I wasn't sure I really wanted to or could even afford another family member in braces at that time (we were already in the middle of my daughters treatment and payments), the staff just reminded me a consultation was free and if it didn't work out we could do it at a later date. I went through with consultation and a few weeks later dove right in to my Invisalign treatment! I have never regretted it for a second, and believe it's the best money as an adult I have spent on myself. As a mom I sometimes think that I don't need this or that, I didn't know I needed to straighten my teeth and correct orthodontic issues until I did and was so grateful I did. My overall self confidence has increased as well as my oral care and the importance of it for future need! Raising 3 daughters and showing them the importance of self care and doing good things for yourself has just been one of the many good things that have come from my adult orthodontic care and treatment.My Invisalign has been a great choice cause I can eat whatever I want and I love the easy care involved with them, and with the Invisalign retainers I have paired it with Acceledent and my treatment has been nicely tracking at a quicker rate than expected. I now LOVE to smile, be in pictures with my family and just overall enjoy being present with the people in my life to show off Dr Leonard's great work. Dr. Leonard and staff as well as Invisalign I will always hold with high regard and recommend to anyone and everyone who will listen or are considering the treatment and this amazing office!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I need to wear my retainer?
Most patients wear their retainers full-time for the first few months before moving to lifetime nighttime wear. Your board-certified orthodontist will provide a specific schedule tailored to your smile.
How do I clean my retainer?
You should brush your removable retainer every time you take it out or put it back in. For fixed retainers, using a floss threader helps you maintain excellent oral hygiene around the wire.
What should I do if I lose my retainer?
Contact our office immediately if your retainer is lost or broken. Even a few days without retention can allow your teeth to begin shifting.
