Retainers
Orlando, FL

Retainers are an important part in your orthodontic path to a perfect smile. Though braces or Invisalign® move your teeth into their ideal position, retainers make sure they stay there. Once your active treatment is complete, wearing a retainer helps prevent your teeth from shifting back, protecting the time, effort, and investment you made.

At Serene Dental, we offer comfortable, custom retainers in Orlando to help you maintain your results long after treatment ends. Whether you need your first retainer or a replacement, we’ve got you covered.

What Is a Dental Retainer?

A dental retainer is a custom-made oral appliance designed to keep your teeth in their new position after orthodontic treatment. Once the braces come off or your Invisalign® plan is complete, your teeth still need time to stabilize in their new alignment. A retainer provides gentle, consistent pressure to hold everything in place.

Wearing your retainer as instructed is the most effective way to preserve your smile for life.

Types of Retainers We Offer

At Serene Dental, we help you choose the best retainer based on your preferences and needs:

Hawley Retainers

These removable retainers use a durable acrylic base and a thin metal wire. They're adjustable and long-lasting.

Clear Plastic Retainers (Essix)

Nearly invisible and easy to wear, these look like the Invisalign® clear aligners and are a great option for those who want a discreet solution.

Fixed (Permanent) Retainers

These are bonded to the back of your front teeth, offering continuous support.

We’ll walk you through each option to find what works best for you.

How Long Do I Have to Wear My Retainer?

How Long Do I Have to Wear My Retainer?

Most patients have to wear their retainer full-time for the first few months following treatment. After that, you’ll likely transition to wearing it only at night. Keep in mind that wearing it is important to prevent unwanted movement since your teeth can shift even years later without a retainer.

How to Take Care of Your Retainer

Ensuring your retainer stays clean and in great shape is important. Here’s how to protect your dental retainer:

  • Rinse with lukewarm water after use
  • Gently brush with a soft toothbrush (no toothpaste)
  • Store it in its protective case when not in use
  • Keep it away from heat, pets, and pockets

Our team will also give you detailed care instructions based on the type of retainer you have.
