Retainers in Houston, TX

The experienced choice for healthier teeth

What Are Retainers?

Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, you will move to a retainer to maintain your results. Your retainer can protect the investment you made in money and time by holding your teeth in their new position while your jaw and gums stabilize. To address the demands of our many patients, Palmer Dental Group of Houston offers several high-quality retainer options, including a fixed or removable retainer. Dr. Palmer can help guide Houston, TX individuals through the orthodontic process and explain all the options to ensure the new smile is long-lasting.

How Do Retainers Work?

When your braces are removed from your teeth, you will be fitted for your retainer. Dr. Palmer will take a digital impression of your teeth and ship it to a dental lab. As soon as your retainer is returned around 1 – 2 weeks later, we’ll schedule a visit at our Houston, TX practice. During this appointment, Dr. Palmer will make sure your retainer fits comfortably before you leave. He will also instruct you how often you have to use your retainer, as well as how to store and keep it clean.

had a great experience with Dr. Palmer and the entire team this morning! I went in for a routine teeth cleaning, and everything from start to finish was smooth, professional, and genuinely pleasant. The office is welcoming and well-run, and the staff made me feel comfortable right away. My cleaning was thorough but gentle, and they took the time to explain everything clearly without ever making me feel rushed. Dr. Palmer is not only knowledgeable but also warm and personable—it’s easy to see why patients feel at ease here. I truly appreciate the attention to detail and the overall positive atmosphere.

I expected insurance to cover more than it did. Never had t return twice to complete a single procedure. Was surprised that Visalign was recommended since I completed it 18 years ago.

Went in for exam, x-rays and cleaning...first time using my medical insurance. I double checked to make sure there was no "out of pocket" expenses before I arrived. They wanted to do a "super" cleaning" which would have cost me money today. I opted out of that and I was dismissed. NO CLEANING! They could have given me the regular treatment, but instead they DISMISSED me.

Dr. Palmer and his staff made my visit very comfortable. They are very polite and considerate and explained the process in detail for each step. I just can't say enough great things about Dr. Palmer's Assistant Christy. She is extremely proficient and knowledgeable and takes her time to explain each and every detail of the process to me and make sure I understand and answer all my questions. She took her time helping me fit my new retainers they made for me. They fit amazing and I was actually able to wear them both together overnight. The quality and fit are so much better than the ones I received from my orthodontist. I would highly recommend Dr. Palmer and his staff for all of your dental needs.
