Retainers
After completing braces or other orthodontic treatments, dental retainers help maintain the new position of your teeth. At Rooted Dentistry, we can provide the perfect retainer for your needs.
Affordable, New Retainers
A retainer is a custom-made appliance, either fixed or removable, that prevents teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Retainers can be made from clear plastic or thin metal wires. The duration for wearing a retainer depends on individual factors like your condition and age. Our team will guide you in choosing the right retainer and determining how long to use it for optimal results.

What is a permanent dental retainer?
A permanent dental retainer, also known as a bonded retainer, is a thin metal wire that is fixed behind the front teeth. It stays in place permanently, ensuring that your teeth remain in their new position after orthodontic treatment. This type of retainer requires special care and regular dental visits to monitor its condition.

How do I clean plastic dental retainers?
To clean plastic dental retainers, rinse them with cool water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. You can also use mild soap or a specialized retainer cleaner. It’s essential to clean your retainer regularly to prevent the buildup of bacteria and maintain good oral hygiene.
