The importance of retainers, from Piedmont Orthodontic Associates

If you recently completed treatment at Piedmont Orthodontic Associates, we’d like to congratulate you! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Ernest Gardner will provide—or has provided you—with retainers. After braces are removed, teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers, however, always 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. Gardner is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime. You can also find retainer instructions on our website.

To learn more about the advantages of wearing retainers after your orthodontic treatment with Dr. Gardner, please read this helpful article about retainers from KidsHealth or give us a call!
