How Do You Keep Your Beautiful New Smile Looking Its Best?
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.
What Should You Do If There Is A Problem
Sometimes things happen and we get it. If your retainer is poking you or feels like it doesn't fit right anymore, just give us a call. We are always here to help with emergency care. If a bonded retainer comes loose, try to wear your backup clear retainer full time until you can see us. The most important thing is to let us know right away so your teeth don't start to shift. We’ve thought of everything so you can focus on showing off that new smile.
How You Should Care for Your Retainer
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.
Which Type Of Retainer Is Right For You
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.

Cheek - Hill Orthodontics Reviews
Cheek-Hill ortho has been so amazing to myself and my little guy. Without hesitation I would recommend them to anyone. They are so patient kind and loving. They always ask about how he is and remember his name even when I come in for my own appointments. Anytime I had a question or wanted to change something about my smile they took the time to explain to me what the options were.Cannot thank you guys enough
Everyone here is so nice! And the tech is modern and they make the process so easy.
Loved my experience at Cheek Hill Orthodontics. The staff and orthodontists are great. They are super accommodating, thorough and patient! I’d highly recommend them.
We have had such a wonderful experience with both Cheekhill Orthodontics and Gilchrist & Kindred Pediatric Dentistry. My daughter is currently in braces with Cheekhill and also receives her dental care through Gilchrist & Kindred.Recently, she had a possible cavity that required a surprising amount of coordination between the two offices. What impressed me most was how seamlessly the teams communicated directly with each other. They took care of the details behind the scenes and saved me, as a parent, from having to go back and forth between the two offices trying to coordinate everything myself.The support staff at both practices were incredibly helpful, responsive, and organized, and the care itself has been excellent. It is such a relief to have providers who not only take great care of your child, but also make the entire process easier for the family.I would absolutely recommend both Cheekhill Orthodontics and Gilchrist & Kindred Pediatric Dentistry to any parent looking for excellent, thoughtful care for their child’s teeth.
Exceptional care and service with child number one, we'll be back with child number two shortly. They always made time for us, were quick and thorough. It was a super smooth experience all around.
