Retainers Near Raleigh, NC

You did it. Your braces are off and your smile is exactly where we wanted it to be. It’s a huge milestone and we are so proud of you. Even though the main part of your journey is done, the next step is easy. We provide Vivera™ Retainers to help your teeth stay in their new spots while your gums and bones settle in. It’s all about protecting the hard work you’ve put in during your orthodontic treatment type. You are in good hands and we will make sure your results last a lifetime.

Book Your Retainer Appointment

Taking care of your removable retainer is simple, and we’ve thought of everything to make it part of your routine. From your very first office visit to the day you finish care, we want you to feel supported.

• Keep it in the case. If it’s not in your mouth, it should be in its case. This keeps it safe from being lost or becoming a snack for a curious pet.
• Clean it daily. Use a toothbrush and some mild soap with warm water. This keeps it fresh and clear of plaque. You can learn more about this in our brushing and flossing guide.
• Watch out for heat. Hot water or leaving it in a hot car can warp the shape. We want to make sure it always fits you perfectly.
• Practice makes perfect. If it feels a little funny to talk at first, don't worry. It’s totally normal. Try reading out loud or singing your favorite song to get used to it faster.

Dr. Caroline Cheek-Hill and Dr. Gabriella Gallo will help you choose the best fit for your life — though most of our patients find that a clear Vivera® retainer is the best option for them.
