Finishing orthodontic treatment is a big milestone, but keeping your new smile aligned requires continued care. At Wolfe Family Dentistry, our dentist and team provide custom retainers in Brookhaven, Georgia, to help maintain your results and prevent teeth from shifting over time. Whether you are completing braces or clear aligners, retainers are a key part of preserving your beautiful smile.

Why Retainers Matter

After orthodontic treatment, your teeth need time to stabilize in their new positions. Without the support of a retainer, they can gradually move back to their original alignment. Retainers are designed to hold the teeth in place while your bones and gums adjust to the new arrangement.

Dr. Emily Wolfe recommends wearing your retainer as directed to ensure the long-term success of your orthodontic treatment. Depending on your needs, you may be given a removable or fixed retainer. Each type offers benefits for comfort, effectiveness and convenience.

Benefits of wearing a retainer include:

  • Maintains the results of orthodontic treatment
  • Prevents teeth from shifting
  • Supports long-term bite alignment
  • Custom fit for comfort and ease
  • Durable materials for daily use

Comfortable, Personalized Retention Solutions

Our office offers custom-made retainers designed specifically for your smile. Our dentist will take precise impressions or scans to create a retainer that fits comfortably and securely. We also provide detailed instructions on how to care for your retainer and how often to wear it.

If your current retainer has become worn, lost or no longer fits properly, we can replace it quickly with a new custom appliance. Retainers are essential even years after completing treatment, especially at night, to ensure your smile remains beautifully aligned.

Our goal is to help you enjoy the lasting benefits of your orthodontic journey with practical, supportive care at every stage. With the right retainer and guidance, you can maintain a straight, healthy smile for life.
