Orthodontic Retainers
As your comprehensive orthodontics provider in the Rock Hill area, Tripp Leitner Orthodontics has your retainer needs covered. And just as we do with orthodontic treatment in general, we see the retention phase as another opportunity to consider the unique needs of each patient.
Types of Retainers
Clear Retainers
We provide clear retainers for the majority of our patients at the end of their treatment. They are thin, transparent trays that fit directly over the teeth, closely resembling an Invisalign® aligner. Clear retainers are inexpensive, convenient, and virtually invisible when worn, which makes them a popular choice for our adult orthodontic patients. Always remember to brush your retainer anytime you take it out of your mouth or before putting it in.
Bonded Retainers
Bonded retainers, also called fixed orthodontic retainers, are usually used for patients who have a high risk of tooth regression. These retainers are made from a single metal wire that’s cemented directly to the teeth, usually running across the backside of the lower front teeth.
Fixed retainers are convenient and highly effective in that they stay in all the time, but you will need a floss threader to properly perform oral hygiene. If your bonded retainer ever does start to come loose, simply contact our office to schedule a repair appointment.
Bonded retainers will always require the use of clear retainers too, as they only hold the front 4-6 teeth. Not everyone is a candidate for a bonded retainer, so count on Dr.Leitner to help advise you of your options.
Tripp Leitner Orthodontics Reviews
Friendly staff, clean offices, and effective treatment. When you walk in the door to check in, the staff already knows your name and your game plan.This was my second time using Tripp Leitner Orthodontists after I did not wear my retainers from having braces during childhood, and I was highly satisfied with the outcome.I would recommend to anybody seeking orthodontic work!
My daughter has to get braces and I’ve always heard great things about this practice and doctor. The office is very warm and welcoming, especially for kids. My daughter is already ready to get hers on. Everything was explained in detail and they are even connected online with her dentist. Keeping all her her dental and orthotic team members totally informed, with each other, is a very comforting feeling! Thank you All!
We love Leitner Orthodontics. Everyone is so friendly. They get us right back when we arrive. My daughter’s teeth are looking wonderful.
Absolutely love Tripp Leitner Orthodontics. Had two kids use them for braces and just told my sister we have another million dollar smile 😃
Always great to see these smiling faces when we walk in.
