But before you buy into those myths, we think you should get the facts first! We came across a great resource recently that helps set the record straight.

Ask Dr. Dau: What's the deal with retainers?

If you've recently completed treatment at Dau Orthodontics, we’d like to congratulate you, again! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Dau will provide—or has provided you—with retainers. After braces are removed, teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers, you see, 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 staff at Dau Orthodontics is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.

To learn more about the advantages of wearing retainers after your orthodontic treatment here at Dau Orthodontics, please read this helpful article about retainers or give us a call!
