Your braces are off… But your smile journey isn’t over. You worked hard for your straight 😁smile. But here’s something many people don’t realize: teeth naturally want to move back to where they started.
That’s why retainers are so important. They hold your teeth in their new position while the surrounding bone and tissues stabilize. Without consistent retainer wear, shifting can begin; sometimes sooner than you think. What starts as slight movement can gradually turn into noticeable crowding or ↔️spacing, and in some cases, the need for retreatment.
Wearing your retainer is the simplest way to protect the time, effort, and investment you’ve already made in your smile. If your retainer feels tight/loose, isn’t fitting correctly, has cracked, or has been lost, don’t wait. Give our office a 📞call at (215) 968-5471.
