Retainers After Braces / Invisalign 

Braces Explained: Retainers
Everything you need to know about retainers will be answered in this video! Why do you need them? What are they used for? How do you clean them? How do you clean them? AND MORE!
I begin by answering some of these common questions and then diving into showing you examples of some different types of retainers: Hawley retainers (a.k.a. wired retainers), Clear retainers (Zendura, Vivera, Essix etc), and then fixed lingual retainers
Each of these retainers have different pros and cons but based on your original malocclusion (reason why you got braces), your lifestyle, and your hygiene, you and your orthodontist can come up with a retention plan to make sure that your teeth stay as beautiful as they are the day you get your braces off!
