Whether you’ve undergone treatment with traditional braces, self-ligating braces, or Invisalign, you’ve worked hard to get the smile of your dreams.

We’re a trusted orthodontic office serving Lombard, Illinois, and we’d be happy to help you maintain your smile! 

Fixed Retainers vs. Removable Retainers 

A fixed retainer is bonded to the back of your teeth, keeping consistent pressure to maintain their positions. While removable retainers can be removed to eat, brush, and floss, they have a visible wire across the front and can easily get lost. Fixed retainers sit behind your teeth, making them virtually invisible, and you won’t have to worry about misplacing them.  

Fixed retainers provide constant support while showcasing your beautiful smile, and they are made from high-quality materials that last for years. 

Maintaining Fixed Retainers 

Fixed retainers are low maintenance, but it's vital to keep them clean with regular brushing and flossing using a floss threader. In addition, routine check-ups with Dr. Balakrishnan will ensure that your retainer stays in its proper place to keep your teeth straight. Our team will help you keep your smile brilliant well into the future.
