Retainers
After orthodontic treatment, retainers play a key role in keeping your smile aligned. Teeth naturally want to shift, especially in the first months after completing Invisalign or other orthodontic care. A custom retainer helps hold everything in place so your results last for years to come.
At Altima Yonge Eglinton Dental Centre, we create retainers that are comfortable, durable, and easy to wear. Whether you’re finishing aligner treatment or replacing an old retainer, we’ll help you choose the right style and ensure a precise fit.
Why retainers matter
Once teeth move into better alignment, they need support while the surrounding bone and tissues stabilize. Without a retainer, shifting is common — even after successful treatment. A well-fitted retainer holds everything in place, protects your investment, and helps your smile stay balanced long term.
Retainers are simple, effective, and vital for maintaining results.
What happens during your appointment
We start by taking impressions or digital scans to create a retainer that fits your bite accurately. Depending on your needs, you may receive a clear removable retainer or a more durable model.
We review how often to wear it, how to care for it, and what signs to watch for as your smile continues to settle.
If you’re replacing an older retainer, we’ll ensure the new one fits comfortably and provides proper support.
We offer transparent pricing, supportive guidance, and 0% financing options when needed. You’ll always know what your retainer costs and how it fits into your overall care plan.
