Fixed Retainers for Patients in Westmont, IL 

At Downers Grove Orthodontics in Westmont, Illinois, we recognize that achieving a perfect smile is a continuous process that doesn't simply end when the braces are removed. Fixed retainers play a vital role in ensuring that your teeth remain in their new, correct positions well beyond the completion of orthodontic treatment. 

Why Opt for Fixed Retainers? 

Unlike their removable counterparts, which can be taken out for meals and cleaning, fixed retainers are permanently bonded to the backs of your teeth. This permanence provides continuous pressure and alignment, greatly minimizing the chance of your teeth reverting to their former positions. These retainers are also inconspicuous, as they are attached behind your teeth, making them virtually invisible. 

Advantages of Fixed Retainers 

• Long-term Stability: They offer constant stabilization, keeping your teeth securely in place. 

• Low Maintenance: Fixed retainers require no daily removal or special handling; they are always at work. 

• Aesthetically Pleasing: Positioned behind the teeth, they remain hidden and do not interfere with your smile. 

• Durability: Crafted from superior materials, they are built to last for many years. 

Caring for Your Fixed Retainers 

Although fixed retainers are relatively maintenance-free, it is critical to keep them clean. Regular use of a floss threader and thorough brushing are essential to maintain both your retainer and your dental health. Furthermore, periodic check-ups with Dr. Balakrishnan are crucial to ensure that your retainer is securely in place and performing effectively. 

Your experience with Downers Grove Orthodontics doesn't just give you a stunning smile; it also equips you with the tools to maintain it indefinitely. Our fixed retainers are a testament to our dedication to your long-term dental health. Trust in our expertise to keep your smile shining brightly for many years.
