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.
What Are the Benefits of Retainers?
Retainers available at Palmer Dental Group of Houston play an important role in orthodontics, posing extensive advantages to promote beautiful and healthy smiles. Retainers offer several benefits, including:
- Helps teeth to remain in alignment as bone and gums acclimate to the corrections
- Improves speech and swallowing
- Protects long-lasting results following orthodontic treatment
- Safeguards against teeth grinding (bruxism) while sleeping
- Prevents teeth from naturally moving over time
Palmer Dental Group of Houston Reviews
I had an exceptional experience at Dr. Palmer's dental practice. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and made to feel right at home. The office ambiance was modern and inviting, and the cleanliness was top-notch, which immediately put me at ease. Dr. Palmer and his dental hygienist, Victoria, were not only highly professional but also incredibly courteous throughout my visit. They took the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed at all times. What truly stood out to me was their attention to detail and their genuine care for their patients' well-being. One thoughtful touch that made my visit even more pleasant was the personalized welcome sign with my name on it—a small gesture that spoke volumes about their commitment to customer satisfaction. Additionally, being able to watch Netflix during my cleaning was a fantastic perk that helped me relax and feel more at ease. Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied with the level of service I received from Dr. Palmer and Victoria. I highly recommend this practice to anyone in search of quality dental care in a welcoming environment. Thank you, Dr. Palmer and Victoria, for your exceptional care!
