Once we remove your braces, we will move into the retention stage of your treatment. The retention phase lasts a lifetime. There is one set of retainers and one-year of retention visits included in your treatment fee. Your final orthodontic result will depend on your commitment to wearing your retainers, so follow through with the hard work you’ve put in throughout the entire treatment process, and you can achieve the maximum benefits of your treatment. Remember to remove your retainer before brushing, and brush your retainer before placing it back in your mouth.
