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
Tripp and his team were great! The kids enjoyed everything about the whole experience and they can’t wait to go back!
Very good customer service. I’ve never had a bad experience. Highly recommend for braces and Invisalign.
Fantastic orthodontist and staff! Dr. Tripp is kind, not pushy, and gives great explanations of what is going on with your teeth. Everyone in the office is top notch!
I because of some new dental work, I had to get another retainer made this past week. Everything went smoothly and the staff is exceptional! My smile proves what someone can achieve as a patient of Dr. Leitner. :-)
Leitner Orthodontics and Dr. Tripp took really good care of me throughout the entire process. I was in and out of my appointment quickly, and my teeth are progressing exactly as expected. The staff has been professional, friendly, and efficient at every visit. I’m looking forward to seeing the final results and would highly recommend them to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.
