Retainers
After orthodontic treatment, teeth need time to stabilize in their new positions. Retainers provide the gentle reinforcement that keeps everything aligned while the supporting tissues adapt. Without them, gradual shifting is common — which is why personalized guidance and follow-up matter.
At Altima Scotia Plaza Dental Centre, retainers are crafted for comfort, durability, and everyday ease.
Why retainers matter
They help:
- Maintain alignment long term
- Protect the investment you’ve made in treatment
- Keep bite pressure balanced
- Reduce the likelihood of gradual relapse over time
Simple, supportive guidance
We explain:
- How often to wear your retainer
- How to clean and store it safely
- What to watch for, such as loosening, tightness, or shifting
If anything changes, we reassess promptly. Routine monitoring helps your results stay stable for years to come.
