Retainers
Your retainer protects the smile you worked for. We make retention simple — and if a retainer is ever lost or broken, we offer same-day help.
Why they matter
Keep your results for life
A retainer holds your teeth in their new positions after braces or aligners. Teeth naturally drift over time, so consistent retainer wear is what makes your result last.
Dr. Orbach will recommend the right retainer and a wear schedule for your case, and the team will walk you through caring for it.

Good to know
How long do I need to wear a retainer?
Most patients wear retainers full-time briefly, then nightly long-term. Teeth can shift for life, so ongoing nightly wear is the safest way to protect your result.
