Ask Dr. Frydenlund: Why are retainers so important?

If you recently completed treatment at the office of Dr. Frydenlund, we’d like to congratulate you on your beautiful smile! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Frydenlund will provide—or has provided you—with retainers. After braces are removed, teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers 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 Dr. Frydenlund 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 with Frydenlund Orthodontics, please read this helpful article about retainers from KidsHealth or give us a call.

Have a great week!
