Retainers in East Memphis
Keep caring for the smile you worked toward. Dr. Rachel Hoffman provides custom retainers and guidance after active treatment.
Plan a complimentary consultationYour wearing schedule is personal
Dr. Rachel will explain the retainer chosen for you and when to wear it. Follow those instructions instead of comparing your schedule with someone else’s.
Long-term retention matters because teeth can shift over time. Let us know if you are struggling to keep up with the routine so we can help you work through it.
Keep it clean and protected
Our team will show you how to clean and care for your particular retainer. Use its case when it is out of your mouth, and follow the cleaning instructions provided at your visit.
Bring your retainer when requested for a check. If its fit changes, tell us rather than making an adjustment yourself.
Lost, damaged, or no longer fitting?
Call 901.625.0202 for guidance and to arrange an assessment if needed. Do not force a painful or distorted retainer into place.
If you have had orthodontic treatment elsewhere, explain your history when you call. We can discuss a visit to evaluate your current smile and retainer needs.
Before you decide.
Can I stop wearing retainers once my teeth feel stable?
Continue the schedule Dr. Rachel gives you. Retainer wear is a long-term part of maintaining alignment, even when your teeth appear settled.
How much does a replacement retainer cost?
Contact the office for an estimate based on the retainer and assessment you need. We will explain the replacement fee before you decide to order.
