Retainers in Tampa Bay: The Key to Maintaining Your Perfect Smile

RETAINERS IN TAMPA BAY

Congratulations on completing your orthodontic treatment! Now, it’s time to protect your investment and ensure your beautiful new smile lasts a lifetime. That’s where retainers come in. At Mann Orthodontics, we offer a variety of retainer options to help you maintain your straight teeth and prevent them from shifting back to their original positions. 

Types of Retainers We Offer

Just like braces, retainers come in different styles to suit your unique needs and preferences. Whether you’re looking for a removable option for convenience or a fixed option for maximum security, Mann Orthodontics has the perfect retainer to keep your smile in place.

  • Hawley Retainers

    The classic removable retainer with a wire that goes across the front of your teeth. Customizable with different colors and designs.

  • Clear Retainers

    Removable retainers made of clear plastic, similar to Invisalign aligners. They're virtually invisible and comfortable to wear.

  • Bonded Retainers (Fixed Retainers)

    A thin wire bonded to the back of your teeth to provide permanent retention. Ideal for patients who are prone to forgetting to wear their removable retainers.

Why Are Retainers Essential?

After braces or clear aligners, your teeth are still settling into their new positions. Retainers provide the gentle pressure needed to hold them in place and prevent relapse. Without retainers, your teeth could gradually shift back to their original positions, undoing all the hard work you and your orthodontist put in.

How Long Do I Need to Wear Retainers?

The length of time you need to wear your retainers varies depending on your individual case and your orthodontist’s recommendations. Typically, you’ll wear them full-time for several months after your braces or aligners are removed, then transition to wearing them only at night for a lifetime.

Caring for Your Retainers:

Proper care of your retainers is essential to ensure they last and continue to protect your smile. We’ll provide you with detailed instructions on how to clean and store your retainers. Here are some general tips:

  • Clean your retainers daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap.
  • Avoid exposing them to hot water, which can warp the plastic.
  • Store them in a case when not in use.
  • Bring your retainers to all your orthodontic checkups so we can monitor their fit and condition.
