According to the Canadian Association of Orthodontics, more than 4 million individuals wear braces in Canada and the United States. “Braces remain one of the most effective ways to straighten teeth, but they only make up half of the treatment plan,” explained a spokesperson for Schacher Orthodontics. “Retainers have to be worn in order to solidify the results produced by braces, and by updating our retainer options, we’re hoping to make this step less convenient for patients.”

Schacher Orthodontics’ most popular retainer option remains the traditional Hawley retainer, which utilizes a combination of wire and thermoplastic material to keep teeth from shifting. Though newer methods are constantly being developed, this option remains a common choice due to its simplicity, affordability, and effectiveness.

In addition to the Hawley retainer, Schacher Orthodontics also offers the clear Essix retainer, which is a more discreet tooth stabilization option. This device consists of two transparent trays that are molded to fit over the patient’s teeth and hold them in place.

Irrespective of which option the patient chooses, they’ll be expected to wear their retainer all the time for around one year following the removal of braces. Usually, after one year, they can switch to only wearing it at night. To ensure that no significant shifts occur at any time during the retainer-wearing process, Schacher Orthodontics brings patients in for check-ups every 6 to 9 months.

In the past, Schacher Orthodontics has given patients the option to get a fixed retainer, which is a piece of wire bonded to the backs of the teeth. However, they have stopped offering this device due to the challenges it presents when brushing and flossing and its propensity to cause gum problems.

“The retainer that Dr. Schacher and his team provided me with after braces has been very easy to wear,” said a satisfied patient. “I opted for a clear retainer because I’m a little image-conscious, and I have to say, I sometimes forget that I’m even wearing it. I really appreciate them accommodating my concerns and I would highly recommend them for your orthodontic needs.”
