Tips for the Best Fitting Removable Retainers

  1. All Orthodontic Retainers whether fixed or removable can be made on the Upper and/or Lower Arch
  2. All Acrylic Removable Retainers can be made with different Acrylic Colors and Designs – Call us for a free Color Chart or you can click here to download one.
  3. All Removable Retainers can be made to fit over Fixed Lingual Bonded Retainers for extra protection and holding capabilities.
  4. You can send you models, PVS impressions or Digital Scans with brackets and bands still in place. We will remove them before we fabricate your removable retainer.
  5. In order to prevent relapse, do not remove the bands and brackets until you have a retainer to place at the same time. If you take everything off and then take your impressions for retainers, the arches may relapse causing the retainers not to fit.
  6. The best procedure for taking an impression with the bands and brackets still on:
    • Remove the arch wire
    • Take the impression
    • Put the same arch wire back on so nothing changes while the retainer is being fabricated
    • Send us models, PVS impressions or digital scans with the bands and brackets still in place.
    • We will remove the bands and brackets from the models before we fabricate any retainers.
    • Once you receive the retainers back from us, remove the bands and brackets and place the retainers at the same time.
