We understand that losing a retainer can be frustrating and costly. However, to maintain the results of your aligned teeth, it is essential to replace a lost retainer. At our practice, we offer a Retainer Assurance Program, which enables our patients to replace retainers in Gainesville at a significantly reduced cost. Alternatively, if you have kept the molds we provide at the end of your treatment, we can remake your retainers at a discounted rate. Our goal is to make retainer replacements more affordable and convenient for you while ensuring the longevity of your aligned smile.

Tell Your Teeth to Hold Position
If you’ve had braces of any kind, you need a retainer.
While the braces or aligners are the “muscle” that move your teeth into place, retainers are the warden that keep them in line. Because of their importance, Trü Orthodontics offers the most affordable way to get retainers in Gainesville.
Retainers Overview
Retainers can be plastic, similar to a clear aligner, or they can be shaped metal wire fixed to a plastic frame. There are also permanent bottom retainers that are small, inconspicuous wires placed behind the front bottom teeth.

Retainers are the only way of ensuring teeth do not shift out of place after braces.

How Retainers Work
We create customized retainers for every patient who gets braces or aligners. We design the retainers to hold your teeth in their new, corrected position.
What to Expect
You’ll want to wear your retainer every night as you sleep. This keeps your teeth from migrating back to their previous position. If you miss a night or two, you shouldn’t experience any issues when you put your retainer back in. If you go too long without wearing your retainer, you may experience discomfort when you wear it. If this happens, it’s a good idea to come in for a check-up!

Yes, you have to wear a retainer forever to keep your teeth from shifting out of alignment! You don’t have to wear it 24/7 though. After a week, it’s fine to only wear them while you’re sleeping, and forgetting for a day or two won’t have a major impact. But if you go too long without your retainer, your teeth will shift.
