Retention Treatments
Keeping Your Smile Straight for Life
Your braces may be off, but your journey to a confident, healthy smile isn’t quite over. At Mathur & Taylor Orthodontics, we believe retention is just as important as the active phase of treatment.
That’s why we offer custom retainers and retention plans designed to protect your hard-earned results for years to come.
Why Retention Matters
After your braces or aligners come off, your teeth still have a natural tendency to shift back to their original positions. This is especially true in the first year post-treatment, as the bones and tissues around your teeth adjust and stabilize.
Without proper retention, your results can relapse.
That’s where retainers come in. They gently hold your teeth in place and preserve the alignment we worked so hard to achieve together.
Your Personalized Retention Plan
At Mathur & Taylor, retention isn’t an afterthought—it’s a custom plan tailored to your bite, habits, and long-term goals.
You’ll receive:
A custom-fitted retainer
Clear instructions on wear time (full-time, then nighttime)
Long-term checkups as needed
Guidance on when and how to replace your retainer if it gets lost, broken, or worn out
