Retention

Linda J. Krebs, DDS, PhD

When we remove your braces, we will begin the retention stage of your treatment. The retention phase lasts for a minimum of 24 months. Your final orthodontic result depends on your retainers, so follow through with the hard work you’ve put in so far. Remember to remove your retainer before eating and to brush your teeth, as well as your retainers, before placing them back in your mouth.
