Overview
Portage Orthodontics is here to help with all orthodontic retainer needs. Just as we’re focused on a customized approach during initial treatment, we carefully consider your unique needs in the retention phase, too.
Clear Retainers
For most of our patients, a clear retainer is a perfect solution once they’re out of braces or at the end of their Invisalign® aligner treatment. Clear retainers are thin, transparent “trays” designed to fit directly on your teeth, so they resemble an Invisalign aligner. Not only are clear retainers inexpensive and convenient, but they’re also essentially invisible, making them a popular choice among both our teen and adult orthodontic patients. If you’re prescribed a clear retainer, don’t forget to brush it every time you take it out of your mouth and before putting it back in.
Bonded Retainers
Bonded retainers, also called fixed retainers, are usually used for patients who have a high risk of tooth regression. We make these retainers from a single metal wire that we cement directly to your teeth, and it usually runs across the back of your teeth to stay inconspicuous.
Fixed retainers are convenient and highly effective because they stay in all the time. However, it does take a little practice with 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 us to help advise you of your options.

Always an easy and pleasant experience with great client support!
This is my first time ever getting braces and my first time getting braces with this office. It was a very pleasant experience and they made the transition to braces very easy and it was a pleasure to work with them. I would love to add that I finished my journey and it was worth it I could not have picked a better office.
