Keep the smile you love. Orthodontic retainers protect your investment after going through braces or Clear Aligners. Our team uses the most state-of-the-art technology to ensure your retainers keep your teeth where they should be.
iTero and 3D Scanning technology give us the most accurate scans of your teeth without uncomfortable and messy molds
Bonded retainers are always there for you! Permanent retainers are a low-maintenance way to keep your smile evenly spaced.
These can be used in addition to a permanent retainer or on their own! It’s easy to keep these clean and floss around your teeth.
You’ve worked hard to take care of your braces! However, if you don’t keep up with good work by wearing and cleaning your retainers, your teeth could begin to shift to their original positions again.
Frequently patients experience unwanted movement when…
Whether you are getting a retainer for the first time, or you need a retainer replacement in Tyler, we’re happy to help!
Impressions use materials that taste funny and a tray that may be too wide for small mouths. With 3D technology, we can skip molds altogether!
Unlike the braces stage, your retainer will either be bonded to the back of your top and bottom front teeth or clear and removable.
If you have small gaps after orthodontic treatment, a retainer can gently close the gaps to perfect your smile and reinforces your tooth alignment.
In the first three months, it may be recommended that you wear your removable retainer up to 22 hours a day, so it needs to be comfortable!
We know teeth aren’t one size fits all. Let’s customize your retainer.
These are clear removable retainers made from a precise impression of your teeth. With iTero 3D scanning technology, we no longer need uncomfortable and messy molds.
These are removable but made out of metal and acrylic. They are mostly worn at night while you sleep, and you can remove them easily to brush your teeth and floss.
These are typically metal retainers for your teeth adhered with a bonding agent or glue. These are long-term fixed retainers with metal bars or metal wires that hold your teeth in place.

3 Steps to Orthodontic Retainers
Schedule Your Appointment
We’ll discuss retainer costs and a treatment plan exactly right for your dental needs!
Get Fitted
During your orthodontic treatment, we’ll use 3D imaging to scan your teeth accurately.
Love Your Smile For Years to Come
Never worry about shifting teeth if you wear your retainer consistently.
Dr. Reuland and Dr. Barnhart use iTero and 3D Scanning technology to give you a comfortable and accurate scan of your mouth in as little as 60 seconds. This gives Dr. Reuland and Dr. Barnhart the most accurate impressions of your teeth for creating retainers and other alignment tools.
With time-lapse technology, you and your orthodontist can see satisfying results as your tooth movement, tooth wear, and other dental changes are monitored over the years. This also allows the team to create a treatment plan efficiently for either removable or permanent retainers.
This is a common misconception! Permanent retainers aren’t easy to remove and they last a long time, but they can break or eventually wear out. They have been known to last 20 years or more with proper care.
You’ll need a floss threader to get around a permanent bottom retainer or a top retainer. These metal pieces are typically glued to each individual tooth, so this special pick allows you to thread the floss between each tooth and under the metal bar, floss, and then remove the floss before moving on to the next tooth.
There is more freedom in what you eat and drink than when you’re wearing braces! Removable retainers can be taken out to enjoy a meal, so yes, you can eat or drink whatever you want when they are NOT in your mouth. Be sure you’re only drinking water with your retainer in.
With a permanent retainer, avoid sticky food that can be hard to clean from between your retainer and teeth. Hard candy or food can also break your retainer, so be careful!
Whether you skipped the retainer step after braces, you’ve broken your retainer and need a replacement, or you’ve just gotten your braces off, it is always beneficial to get fitted for a retainer! Come in for a consultation, and Dr. Reuland or Dr. Barnhart will be happy to find the right fit for you.
