At Caswell Orthodontics in Mililani, we understand that retention therapy is as important as your previous treatment. Whether you have used braces or clear aligners, our retention therapy services in Mililani, HI, are optimized to ensure your investment and your smile are safeguarded for as long as possible.
Retention is not a phase, but a commitment. Our dedicated and experienced team, consisting of Dr. Caswell and Dr. Tada, provides comprehensive orthodontic follow-up care, including, but not limited to, issuance of retainers, scheduled retainer assessments, and dental alignment checks to maintain their position and ensure your smile is as radiant as ever.
To maintain and safeguard your smile and ensure continued confidence in it, we have a few advanced strategies and techniques to prevent any unwanted relapse.
This is a retainer that is fixed and not removable. The fixed retainers are usually placed behind the teeth. Perfect for patients who prefer a no-maintenance approach, it prevents unwanted tooth movement and is very helpful for the lower front teeth.
Our Essix retainers are made as removable aligners. They are clear with nearly no visibility and are customized to ensure a precise fit. Comfortable and simple to wear, these retainers are preferred by patients who formerly used clear aligners.
We do not just give you a retainer and hope for the best. We provide you with a detailed retention protocol, which includes a personalized wear schedule, orthodontic follow-up appointments, and tips to prolong the life of your orthodontic retainers.
Post-treatment changes can occur, which is why monitoring changes to the alignment of teeth, retainer checkups, and shifts are actively tracked. Our team actively tracks progress and, if necessary, provides replacement orthodontic retainers to ensure retention is optimized.
It is the last touch to elevate your smile. Our maintenance after orthodontics includes detailed long-term follow-up support, detailed instructional sheets, retainer audits, and adjustment of retainers as necessary.
The family approach we provide is what sets us apart at Caswell Orthodontics. We understand the importance of retention therapy and are committed to guiding you at every step. We ensure you remain educated and actively supported after the braces or aligners are removed. Our attentive staff put sustainability and caring strategies at the forefront of our practice to ensure lifelong, memorable smiles for all our patients.
Understanding the diverse and wide-ranging needs of families in Mililani and Oahu is invaluable to us. This allows us to tailor and personalize all smile retention strategies to fit your and your family’s goals, adapting at every age and stage. Night guards for kids and adult bonded retainers ensure consistent, age-appropriate care through seamless transitions for all our patients.
Retention is critical for preventing your teeth from shifting back to their starting point. If you don’t wear a retainer, all the work you’ve done with orthodontics will be lost.
It is mostly used to be worn all the time, even at night too. As always, we will assess your individual needs and create a retention plan right for you.
Patients who need a retainer checkup are easy to help. Just schedule a retainer checkup, and the rest will be taken care of.
Maintaining aged and retainer-specific milestones every 6-12 months is best for aligned post-brace monitoring.
Of course! We provide Essix (clear plastic) or bondable retainers, and others. We will guide you through the selection process based on your age, lifestyle, and previous treatment history.
