Retainers in Roslyn, NY & Whitestone, NY

retainers in roslyn nyTake Care of Your New Smile – You’ve Earned It!

There will come a day when you or your child will hear “Congratulations, your braces are coming off today!” To keep that fabulous smile, though, it will require wearing a retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions. Retainers in Roslyn, NY and Whitestone, NY are custom-made oral appliances often used to maintain the alignment of your teeth after orthodontic treatment. As you age, your teeth tend to shift and the retainer ensures that your teeth remain in correct alignment for optimal oral health, functionality, and appearance.

Avenue Orthodontics provides two sets of retainers upon completion of your orthodontic treatment. We also see non-patients for retainers and are proud to offer high-quality retainers, which we make in-house. 

Three Types of Retainers

There are three main types of retainers available. Our orthodontists will help you determine whether you need a retainer after your orthodontic treatment, and which one will work best for you.

hawley retainers in roslyn

Hawley Retainers – Consist of wires and clasps embedded in a plastic body that covers the roof of your mouth (for the upper arch) or lies along the tongue-side of your teeth (for the lower arch). The clasps fit around certain teeth to anchor the retainer in place, while the wire arches across the front of your teeth to maintain their alignment.

clear retainers in roslyn

Clear Retainers – Made of clear plastic and fit snugly over your teeth. A clear retainer is usually more discreet than a Hawley retainer, although it may not be as durable.

fixed retainers in roslyn

Fixed Retainers – Also called bonded or permanent retainers, fixed retainers are permanently attached to the backside of your front teeth. They prevent your teeth from shifting out of place and can only be removed by a dental professional.

Wearing Your Retainer

It is incredibly important to keep up with your retainer schedule, whether it is wearing it day and night, only at night, or a few nights per week. During the first few months after braces are removed, there’s a high chance that your teeth will slip back toward their old positions if the retainer is not worn full-time. Without a retainer, your teeth will always move and shift. If you don’t follow your retainer schedule, you risk needing braces a second time – and no one wants to go through the time, effort, and cost to do that again. Take care of your new smile – you earned it!

“From the minute you walk through the door, you feel welcomed. Everyone you encounter is nicer than the first. Drs. Eleni and Abraham are not only professional, but warm, kind people. The atmosphere is always cheerful, and puts the patients at ease. I would very highly recommend visiting them for your orthodontics.

“My daughter said to me yesterday "thank you mommy" and I said for what? She said for bringing me to this dentist. She is very difficult and I was worried having to get an expander for her. But as it turns out Avenue Orthodontics is AMAZING!! I thank them for making this process with my daughter easy and my girl is so happy.”
