Why do I need a retainer?
Teeth can naturally shift over time after orthodontic treatment. A retainer helps maintain the corrected alignment and bite.
I lost my retainer while traveling. Can you make a new one?
Yes. Replacement retainers are made from a digital scan or impression of your current teeth. Bring your previous treatment details if you have them.
Removable or fixed: which is better?
Removable retainers come out for eating and cleaning. Fixed retainers stay attached for continuous retention. Your dentist recommends one for your case.
My teeth moved a little after braces. Can a retainer help?
For minor relapse, your dentist evaluates the shift and explains whether a retainer or further orthodontic treatment is appropriate.
Do the dentists speak English?
Yes. Consultations and treatment explanations are given in English, with support in Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian and Mongolian.
