Retainers in Rancho Cucamonga
Precision-crafted retainers to maintain your perfect smile and protect your dental investment
Securing Your Straight Smile for a Lifetime
After completing orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign, your teeth are aligned beautifully in their ideal position. However, without proper retention, teeth can naturally shift over time. Retainers are the key to maintaining your straight smile and protecting your orthodontic investment.
At Haven Cosmetic Dentistry & Implant Center, we provide customized retainers designed for long-term comfort, stability, and confidence.
Why Retainers Are Absolutely Essential
Your teeth are supported by bone and ligaments that need time to stabilize after treatment. Wearing a retainer is the only reliable way to prevent your teeth from gradually moving out of place.
Protect Your Investment: You’ve spent time and effort achieving your new smile. A retainer ensures that your results last.
Long-Term Stability: Keeps teeth securely in position while bone and tissue adapt to the new alignment.
Simple, Necessary Step: Retainers are easy to wear, comfortable, and essential for preserving your perfect smile.
Your Custom Retainer Options at Haven
We offer two main types of retainers, each designed for different needs, comfort preferences, and lifestyles.

Removable Retainers (The Flexible Choice)
These are worn primarily at night after your orthodontic treatment is complete.
Custom Clear Retainers (e.g., Vivera): Virtually invisible and made from durable materials for a comfortable, secure fit.
Hawley Retainers: Constructed from thin acrylic and metal wires, these are adjustable and allow your bite to settle naturally.

Fixed (Permanent) Retainers (The Hidden Choice)
Design: A thin, discreet wire is bonded behind the front teeth (typically the lower set).
Convenience: Since it’s permanently attached, you never have to remember to wear it.
Maintenance: Requires regular professional cleanings and flossing to keep the area plaque-free.
