Why Retainer Repair is Essential

Your retainer is essential for maintaining the results of your orthodontic treatment. However, like any dental appliance, retainers can experience wear and tear over time. Common issues include:

• Cracks or Breakage: Damage can occur from regular use or accidental drops.
• Warping: Exposure to heat or improper cleaning methods can alter the retainer’s shape.
• Fit Issues: Teeth can shift slightly, making your retainer feel loose or tight.

Our orthodontic retainer repair services ensure that your appliance is quickly and effectively restored to optimal condition.
