Lock in Your Forever Results with a Custom Retainer
Once your treatment is completed, it is crucial that your new smile be maintained to avoid relapse back to your original condition.
Over many decades, countless patients who have gone through orthodontic treatment have suffered undesired movement of their teeth. The most common reasons for relapse are 1) non-compliance with retainers, 2) lost retainers without replacement, 3) damaged retainers due to pets and negligence and 4) loss of permanent teeth without proper management. Many patients who seek retreatment were told years ago that their retainers were only necessary for a short period of time. We now know after much evidence that tooth movement is a lifelong process and thus, requires retention almost indefinitely.
One viable solution to this dilemma is the placement of permanent retainers, which are thin, low-profile wires bonded discretely with clear adhesive to the back sides of the upper and lower front teeth. The two potential pitfalls to this approach are 1) breakage due to a variety of factors such as trauma and 2) easier accumulation of plaque and tartar on the teeth.
To combat these limitations, a strict schedule of professional dental cleanings at least every 6 months as well as supplementation with removable clear retainers that are worn just at night has given thousands of our treated patients with permanent retainers the luxury and peace of mind of maintaining a beautiful smile for many years.
We offer complimentary placement of permanent retainers as well as one set of upper and lower removable clear retainers as part of your all-inclusive treatment fee.
We have your back (and your smile!)
Retainer accidents happen! Fortunately, our Retainer Assurance program pays for replacements and saves you money. Ask us about it during your appointment!
Retainers Reviews
I love Fort Worth Orthodontics! I got Invisalign here and Dr Haley is awesome. She is a perfectionist and wants your teeth to be perfect and for the patient to be happy. The office staff and technicians are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I bought the retainer insurance. In case you lose your retainers or the dog eats them, you can replace them for a minimal copay. I would highly recommend Fort Worth Orthodontics!
Needed a permanent retainer fixed. Got an appt within 72hrs! I was able to complete all forms online. They were upfront about costs. I didn’t wait more than 3m before being called back and was out of there in less than 30m! Best experience ever! Jackie and Dr Haley were great!
When I damaged my permanent retainer. The front desk squeezed me in same day and Dr. Haley was able to quickly see the issue and was able to fix it quickly. Very pleased and will continued to use Ft. Worth Orthodontics.
I had a very wonderful experience here after my permanent retainer broke and I needed a replacement. I was very impressed by Jackie and how attentive, personable, professional, and knowledgeable she was. She made me feel very comfortable. When I couldn’t get my permanent retainer to fit, even Kimberly at the front desk came to help me. I highly recommend this practice!
Dr. Haley and her team are truly exceptional—kind, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable.From our very first visit, the entire experience has felt thoughtful and high-quality. Their advanced digital X-rays make it so easy to actually see what’s going on, and they take the time to walk you through all your options in a way that feels clear and empowering, not overwhelming.My son just started his KLOwen braces, and the process was impressively smooth. They use digital scans to create fully customized brackets, which meant his braces were placed quickly and precisely. He was honestly surprised by how easy it was—no pain, no stress—and he already loves them. They also sent us home with a helpful care kit and a detailed video, so we feel confident staying on top of everything.The office itself is just as wonderful as the care. The waiting area is adorable and very kid-friendly—my youngest was happily coloring the whole time while his brother got started. And the little touches like complimentary water, coffee, and even popsicles make it feel extra welcoming.You can tell this office really prioritizes both comfort and quality. We’re genuinely excited to be on this journey with them and can’t wait to see the final smile!
