Ask Dr. Rad: What's the deal with retainers?
If you recently completed treatment with Dr. Mehdy Rad, we’d like to congratulate you! Again! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Rad or Dr. Dave will provide—or have provided you—with retainers. After your braces come off, teeth may shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers, Dr. Rad will tell you, always provide that stabilization. They are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by our doctors and staff is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.
To learn more about the advantages of wearing retainers after your treatment at Rad Orthodontics, please read this helpful article about retainers from KidsHealth. Also, please visit our website for a few retainer tips.
Happy Monday!
