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.
Portage Orthodontics Reviews
My experience was amazing. I would definitely recommend them. The customer service was outstanding, the entire process was seamless. Overall, 10/10 experience!
They have been super accommodating and kind every time I have gone in or tried to make an appointment! They also made sure to prioritize my treatment and run me through all of the steps I was going to need to I was always informed with what was going on!
Phenomenal orthodontic care, caring staff, and uncomparable patient appreciation events! My daughter loves Dr. Grabowski, and so do we.
Everyone is very nice. My daughter had her braces put on yesterday, and she was very nervous/anxious. The ladies that assisted her did great at keeping her calm, and letting her know it was going to be great, and she won't regret it.I recommend this business!!
Great Orthodontist office, very accommodating and easy to communicate with too!
