Once you have dedicated time and effort to transforming your smile through braces or Invisalign® treatment, preservation becomes the priority. At Daniels Orthodontics, we provide next-generation retention solutions designed to lock in your results and ensure your confidence remains unmistakable for a lifetime.
The Purpose of the Retention Phase
The moment your active treatment ends, your smile enters a critical period of stabilization. Your bone, gums, and supporting tissues require time to adapt to their new, ideal positions. Without a custom-made orthodontic retainer, the natural forces of daily life — such as chewing and aging — can cause teeth to shift back toward their original alignment.
Wearing a retainer is the final, essential step in your journey. It acts as a safeguard for your future smile, ensuring that the precision and design achieved during your treatment are never compromised.
Retainer Options Tailored to Your Lifestyle
Every patient has unique needs when it comes to long-term maintenance. Dr. Daniels offers a range of high-performance retainers, each engineered to provide a comfortable fit and reliable stability.
Vivera™ Retainers and Essix Retainers
For those who value a discreet and modern approach, clear retainers offer a virtually invisible solution. Similar in design to Invisalign® aligners, these retainers are custom-molded to your teeth for a precise, snug fit.
Vivera™ retainers, manufactured by the makers of Invisalign® system, utilize a specialized, durable material designed to maintain its shape and strength over time. Essix retainers provide a similar clear aesthetic using a slightly thinner material, offering an efficient and affordable path to long-term retention. Both options allow you the freedom to maintain your oral hygiene with ease.
Hawley Retainer
The Hawley retainer is a durable, time-tested option constructed from a combination of acrylic and a slim metal wire. This design is exceptionally versatile, allowing for minor adjustments if necessary to ensure your bite remains perfectly balanced. It is a robust choice for patients seeking a long-lasting solution for smile stability.
Retainers Reviews
I could not be happier with the treatment that I have received from Dr. Daniels and his staff. Having had braces and retainers three times during childhood/teen years, it took a lot for me to make the decision to go back into braces as an adult. The first orthodontist that I consulted with stated that I would need jaw surgery to achieve a functional, non-painful bite, which was not an option for me. The minute I walked into Dr. Daniels' office I knew it was the right place for me. His passion for orthodontics is noticeable immediately. He worked together with me to come up with a treatment plan that worked with my schedule (up to 6 months out of the country at a time) and one that was functional. I was placed in Invisalign with buttons and attachments. I'm now a little over a year into my treatment and the difference in the functionality of my bite and my smile is noticeable to myself and everyone else around me. Having dealt with other orthodontists in the Cheshire area I can say that Dr. Daniels is unequivocally the BEST orthodontist in the Cheshire area. I cannot recommend his services enough.
Daniels Orthodontics has been a lifesaver for my daughter and I. As a single parent I was very nervous about the cost associated with the services. However, from the very onset I was given all the information I needed to make a decision based on the cost associated with the services. There were never any hidden fees or surprise billing. As far as the care and treatment to my daughter, I couldn’t ask for anything better. I have, not for one minute, been unhappy, kept out of the loop or felt like our questions and fears were not answered and put to rest. Dr. Daniel’s staff has been there every step of the way, they have been so helpful, caring and informative. Dr. Daniels has been like a part of our family. He has come to meet us outside, in the waiting room, called to check on us and during Covid came to our vehicle. He has put my daughter at ease during appointments, and provided us with information and superb referrals when we needed a procedure related to her braces. Now that we are in the stage of retainers I feel a little sad that we won’t have more need to go to their office. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to start the journey of braces for themselves or their child.
An excellent experience from start to finish. My son's teeth required a great deal of work and Dr. Daniels got them absolutely perfect. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, especially Frank, who stayed an extra hour to make his retainers so we wouldn't have to drive back the next day! I highly recommend them.
Dr. Daniels and his team are so kind and generous. My apartment burnt down in a fire, and I lost my retainers. Dr. Daniels went above and beyond to replace them as quickly as possible. I am so grateful!
From 2015-2019 this was where I had my braces done. Everything was great! They were always extremely kind to me and shared a lot of the enthusiasm my 4th grade self had about choosing a new color for my bands every time I came in. I recently came in to get a new set of retainers and everyone there was still as kind as they always had been. It was great to see how the place had grown. I was able to get a new mold done after I needed new retainers and it was quick and easy. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs braces or new retainers!
