Retainers at Oakland Orthodontics
Protect your newly perfected smile with custom retainers from Oakland Orthodontics.
At Oakland Orthodontics, Dr. Archana Dhawan and our team understand that achieving a straight smile is only the first step. Retainers play an essential role in protecting your orthodontic investment by preventing teeth from shifting back to their original positions. We offer personalized retainer solutions tailored to each patient’s unique needs, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Preserve Your Smile with Professional Retainer Solutions
After completing orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign, your teeth need time to stabilize in their new positions. Without proper retention, teeth naturally tend to shift, which can compromise the beautiful results you worked hard to achieve. Our custom-fitted retainers help your smile stay beautifully aligned long after active treatment ends.
Types of Retainers We Offer
We provide several retainer options to accommodate different patient preferences and orthodontic needs.
Removable Clear Retainers
These transparent, custom-molded retainers fit snugly over your teeth and are virtually invisible. Clear retainers offer exceptional comfort without bulky components and are ideal for patients who value aesthetics. They require regular cleaning to maintain transparency.
Hawley Retainers
This traditional option combines a durable acrylic base with an adjustable metal wire that runs across the front teeth. Hawley retainers are highly durable and can last for years when properly maintained. The adjustable wire allows our orthodontist to make minor corrections if slight tooth movement occurs.
Smile Protection Program
Life happens. Retainers get lost, broken, or worn out, and replacement costs can add up fast. Without coverage, a new retainer can run anywhere from $350 to $550.
That’s why we created the Smile Protection Program, a one-time investment that keeps your smile covered for years to come. For a single fee of $799, you’ll have access to up to four replacement retainers per year at just $29.99 each for five full years. No surprise bills, no stress.
What’s Included
- Up to four replacement retainers per year at $29.99 each
- One-time enrollment fee of $799
- Hassle-free replacement process
- Five-year coverage
It’s one of the simplest ways to protect the smile you worked so hard for. Ask our team about enrolling at your next visit.
