Bonded Retainer

  • All teeth move throughout life, especially the lower front teeth, as a component of aging.
  • Your bonded retainer will support the alignment of your lower front teeth, which is a key element in maintaining your beautiful, healthy smile.
  • Dr. Lenz recommends wearing your bonded retainer indefinitely.
  • Be careful when chewing hard, crunchy, sticky foods with your front teeth to prevent dislodging your bonded retainer.
  • Thoroughly brush and floss around your bonded retainer as instructed.
  • Each time you brush your teeth, check your bonded retainer to insure that it is securely attached.
  • If your bonded retainer feels loose or becomes dislodged, call our office immediately, to set up an appointment to have your retainer recemented.
  • Remember, now that your braces have been removed, brush and floss your teeth, carefully maintain your bonded retainer and enjoy your beautiful, healthy smile!
