Retainers in Reno, NV

Fixed & Removable Retainers at Boca Specialty Dental & Braces

After braces or Invisalign, your teeth are in their new positions — but the bone and tissue holding them need time to fully stabilize. Without a retainer, teeth shift back. A retainer is not optional — it is the final and permanent phase of your orthodontic investment. Boca Specialty Dental & Braces provides fixed (bonded) and removable retainers at all 3 of its Reno-area locations, including replacement retainers for patients whose existing retainers are lost, broken, or no longer fit.

Fixed vs. Removable Retainers — Which Is Right for You?

After braces or Invisalign, your teeth are held in their new positions while the surrounding bone and tissue stabilize. A retainer keeps them there. Boca offers three retainer types — one fixed and two removable — each suited to different needs.

3 types

Fixed bonded, Essix clear, and Hawley wire

Nightly for life

Recommended long-term wear to prevent shifting

Replacements

Available even if you had treatment elsewhere

Who Needs a Retainer

Anyone who has just completed braces or Invisalign treatment
Patients whose existing retainer is lost, broken, or no longer fits
People who finished orthodontic treatment elsewhere and need a replacement
Anyone noticing their teeth beginning to shift after past orthodontic work

Wear your retainer indefinitely. The most common orthodontic outcome complaint is post-treatment shifting — almost always due to inconsistent retainer wear. Wear your retainer nightly for life.
