Types of Retainers
As your leading comprehensive orthodontics provider in Bixby or Glenpool, Nowlin Orthodontics has your retainer needs covered. And just as we do with orthodontic treatment in general, we see the retention phase as another opportunity to consider the unique needs of each patient.
Clear Retainers
At the end of treatment, we provide clear retainers for most of our patients in Bixby or Glenpool, Oklahoma. They are thin, transparent trays that fit directly over the teeth, closely resembling an Invisalign® aligner. Clear retainers are inexpensive, convenient, and virtually invisible when worn, which makes them a popular choice for our adult orthodontic patients. Always remember to brush your retainer anytime you take it out of your mouth or before putting it in.
Bonded Stabilizing Retainers
Bonded retainers, also called fixed retainers, are usually used for orthodontic patients who have a high risk of tooth regression. These retainers are made from a single metal wire that’s cemented directly to the teeth, usually running across the backside of the lower front teeth.
Fixed retainers are convenient and highly effective in that they stay in all the time, but you will need a floss threader to properly perform oral hygiene. If your bonded retainer ever starts to come loose, simply contact our office to schedule a repair appointment.
Bonded retainers will always require the use of clear retainers too, as they only hold the front 4-6 teeth. Not everyone is a candidate for a bonded retainer, so let us help advise you of your options.
We have your back (and your smile!)
Retainer accidents happen! Fortunately, our Retainer Assurance program pays for replacements and saves you money. Ask us about it during your appointment!
Orthodontic Retainers Reviews
Nowlin orthodontics was a great choice for my family. My son had the traditional braces and my daughter has the Invisalign treatment. Both treatments had amazing results. This combined with amazing customer service is the reason Nowlin is the best orthodontist in the Tulsa area.
So excited to get myself and my husband started on Invisaligns with Dr. Nowlin. We used him for our kids and had beautiful results- he is very precise & great at what he does! The staff is top notch and always so kind. We highly recommend Nowlin Orthodontics.
My daughter and I have both gotten our braces/Invisalign done at Nowlin Orthodontics. From the first appointment they make you feel like friends and like they’ve known you for years. They make the effort to get to know you and go over the most realistic and best options for you. It’s not about the money, it’s about the right dental procedure for you! I can’t say enough about them!
We have been long time customers for both of our children. If you’re looking for somewhere to begin or continue orthodontic treatment, look no further. You won’t find better people or care anywhere else. Excellent service and awesome results!
We love Dr. Nowlin and all the amazing women in the office! They are always so friendly and welcoming and go above and beyond to treat everyone special. We love how involved Nowlin Orthodontics is in the Bixby community always giving back!
