Keeping your teeth in their newly aligned positions after orthodontic treatment is essential to maintaining your straight, beautiful smile. At Dream Smile of Norcross, we offer Permanent Retainers, a reliable solution that provides continuous support to ensure your teeth stay perfectly aligned.

What Is a Permanent Retainer?

A Permanent Retainer, also known as a bonded or fixed retainer, consists of a thin wire that is permanently attached to the back of your teeth. This wire is typically bonded to the lower front teeth but can also be applied to the upper teeth if necessary. Unlike removable retainers, a Permanent Retainer stays in place, providing constant reinforcement to prevent your teeth from shifting.

Benefits of Permanent Retainers

Choosing a Permanent Retainer at Dream Smile of Norcross comes with several key advantages:

  • Continuous Support: Since Permanent Retainers are fixed in place, they provide ongoing support, ensuring that your teeth remain in their correct positions without the need for regular removal and reinsertion.
  • Discreet Appearance: Bonded behind your teeth, Permanent Retainers are virtually invisible, allowing you to maintain your straight smile without anyone noticing.
  • Convenience: With a Permanent Retainer, there’s no need to remember to wear it or worry about losing it, making it a hassle-free solution for busy individuals.
  • Long-Term Stability: Permanent Retainers are especially effective at maintaining the alignment of the lower front teeth, which are prone to shifting over time.

Caring for Your Permanent Retainer

Proper care of your Permanent Retainer is crucial for maintaining both your retainer and your oral health:

  • Daily Cleaning: Brush and floss carefully around your retainer to remove plaque and food particles. Special floss threaders can help you clean between the wire and your teeth.
  • Regular Dental Visits: Regular check-ups at Dream Smile of Norcross will ensure your retainer stays in good condition and that your teeth remain healthy.
  • Avoid Hard Foods: To prevent damage to the bonded wire, avoid biting into hard foods or objects, such as ice, pens, or hard candies.
