Retainers That Protect Your New Smile

Teeth drift for life, which makes retention the most important phase of treatment. We fit permanent, Hawley and clear retainers, and replace lost ones fast.

Three ways to keep it

Permanent, Hawley or Clear

Permanent (bonded) retainers sit behind the front teeth and work without you thinking about them.

Hawley retainers are the adjustable classic, durable and repairable.

Clear retainers are nearly invisible and easy to wear at night.

Dr. Chang recommends the right combination for your case before your braces come off or your last aligner ends.

Common Questions

How much does a retainer cost?

It depends on the type. Ask at your visit and we will give you exact pricing, including replacement costs so there are no surprises later.

How long do I wear a retainer?

Teeth shift for life, so plan on retention long term. Most patients transition to nights-only wear on a schedule Dr. Chang sets.

I lost my retainer. Now what?

Call or text us at (650) 598-0888. Quick replacement protects the result you paid for, and we keep your records on file to make it easy.

I had braces years ago and my teeth shifted. Can you help?

Yes. Retreatment is common and often shorter than the first round. Limited Invisalign is designed for exactly this.
