Replacement retainers in Edmond, OK
Orthodontic Retainers in Edmond & OKC
At Nanda Orthodontics, we offer several types of retainers to help keep your smile in place after orthodontic treatment. Common options include Hawley retainers, Vivera® retainers, and clear overlay retainers.
Once active treatment is complete, retainers help hold your teeth in their new positions while the surrounding bone and tissue stabilize. Wearing your retainers as instructed is one of the most important parts of protecting your results long-term.
Our Edmond office provides retainer options for patients throughout Edmond, Oklahoma City, and the OKC metro. Depending on your treatment plan, you may be asked to wear your retainers full-time for the first several months before transitioning to nighttime wear.
Types of retainers
Clear Removable Retainer
Retainers gently guide your teeth into a position where the upper and lower sets are even, straight and align with each other. Clear overlay retainers maintain the intended position following orthodontic treatment, all while providing minor corrections to slightly misaligned teeth if needed.
Bonded Wire Retainers
A bonded retainer is a very thin, hidden piece of wire that is attached to the back of the teeth.
Hawley Retainers
The Hawley appliance is one of the oldest types of retainers used post-treatment. A removable retainer, it’s made of a combination of plastic and metal that is molded custom to fit your mouth.
Mouthguards, Nightguards, and Orthodontic Appliances
At Nanda Orthodontics, we provide custom oral appliances designed to protect your teeth, support your bite, and help maintain your orthodontic results. Depending on your needs, we may recommend a custom mouthguard, nightguard, or another orthodontic appliance as part of your care plan.
Custom Mouthguards
Custom mouthguards help protect your teeth and braces during sports or other activities. Unlike store-bought mouthguards, a professionally made mouthguard is designed to fit your smile more comfortably and securely.
Nightguards
Nightguards may be recommended for patients who grind or clench their teeth at night. A custom nightguard can help protect your teeth, reduce wear, and support long-term oral health.
Snoring and Sleep-Related Appliances
For some patients, oral appliances may help reduce snoring or support better nighttime breathing. If sleep apnea is suspected, we may recommend working with a physician or sleep specialist to determine the right treatment approach.
