Ask Dr. Boyd: What's the deal with retainers?

If you recently completed treatment at Richard Boyd Orthodontics, we’d like to congratulate you! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Boyd will provide—or probably has provided you by now—with retainers. After your braces have been removed, your teeth may still shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers, however, provide that stabilization.

To learn more about the advantages of wearing retainers after your orthodontic treatment, please check out these tips from Dr. Boyd and this helpful article about retainers from KidsHealth. Or, you may give us a call! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
