Retainers Aventura

Orthodontist in Aventura, FL

Your orthodontic path begins with us at Rozman Orthodontics, where we understand that attaining a beautifully aligned smile is only the first step. Equally as critical is keeping such outcomes; why, retainers are absolutely vital in post-treatment care. Designed to safeguard your investment, our clinic proudly provides thorough retainer services to patients all around Aventura.


Your newly corrected teeth’s protectors are retainers. Teeth naturally tend to move back toward their original positions once your braces come off or you finish your Invisalign therapy. Called relapse, this movement results from the ligaments and tissues linking teeth to bone needing time to settle in their new configuration. Retainers help to maintain your flawless smile by means of their prevention of this undesired movement.

Our Aventura office has many different kinds of retainers available. Fixed or permanent retainers are made of thin wire attached to the inside surface of your front teeth. These offer continual retention without demanding any work from you. Many patients like their subtlety since they are not seen when you grin. Lower front teeth, which have the greatest inclination to move, respond especially well to fixed retainers.

Two basic types of removable retainers exist. With a wire that runs across the front of your teeth, the classic Hawley retainer consists of a custom-fitted acrylic piece that sits against the roof of your mouth or below your lower teeth. With appropriate maintenance, these strong retainers can last for years. Many patients choose Hawley retainers since they let little changes, should the situation call for them.

Another common choice is clear plastic retainers, which resemble Invisalign aligners. These tiny, clear trays fit tight over your whole tooth arch. Many patients choose them as they are almost unnoticeable when worn. They don’t change speech as much as many other retainer sorts and are also quite pleasant. Using exact digital scans of your teeth, Rozman Orthodontics builds these bespoke retainers.

Usually, the timetable for wearing a retainer begins with full-time wear save for brushing or eating. Most patients switch to night wear only after several months of treatment. To keep their outcomes, some people must wear retainers forever. Your particular treatment and dental history guide our development of individualized retention strategies.

Good retainer care guarantees efficacy and lifespan. We advise using a gentle toothbrush and mild soap or specialised retainer cleaner to clean removable retainers every day. Hot water can warp plastic retainers, so stay away from it. Store your retainer in its protective case while not in mouth to avoid loss or damage. These easy practices maintain your retainer effective and fresh.

Regular check-ups at our Aventura site let us track how your teeth are settling and modify your retainers as required. Though they grow less common with time, these visits are still quite vital for keeping your outcomes. Usually, we plan retainer checks every six months throughout the first year following therapy.

Retainers can occasionally get lost or broken. These things do occur, so we provide quick replacement options. Just call our office, and we’ll organize to fit you with a new retainer as soon as we can. Patients who travel often can consider keeping a backup retainer to prevent any lapse in wear.

For years to come, the investment in great retainers pays off. Wearing your retainers as directed helps to save the time and money spent on your orthodontic treatment. Many of our Aventura patients say they fast adjust to using retainers and find it to be a simple part of their daily routine.

Rozman Orthodontics takes pleasure in offering thorough therapy that goes far beyond the active treatment phase. Our staff is still on hand to help with any worries or inquiries regarding your retainers. Building enduring relationships with our patients and supporting them all along their orthodontic path is what we believe in.
