Retainers are appliances that maintain, or retain the position of the bite and teeth. Your treatment includes one set of retainers. After your treatment you will be expected to wear the retainers full time for three to six months. After that time you will wear your retainers at night only. If you fail to wear the retainers as directed, your teeth could relapse. Retreatment due to poor compliance is not included in the treatment fee.
