Orthodontic Retention

Aurora, CO

Congratulations, you have reached a milestone in your orthodontic treatment! Our patients begin the retention period of their orthodontic care when braces are removed. This phase is both exciting and extremely important. A period of time is needed to stabilize the entire mouth once the teeth have been moved into their desired positions. Up to this point, it has been a team effort, but now the retention phase is up to you.

What To Expect

Initially, your retainers may feel bulky and somewhat affect your speech. In a few days, once the tongue adapts, your speech will return to normal. The day after you receive your retainers, your teeth may also feel a bit sore, however, this will resolve quickly with continuous wear.

How To Maintain A Beautiful Smile

  • Wear your retainers as prescribed.
  • Do not let your retainers get damaged or bent (“In the case, or on your face!”). If you experience prolonged irritation of the gums, lips, cheeks, or tongue, do not attempt to adjust the retainer yourself, but call for an appointment. If your retainer is damaged, call immediately for an appointment.
  • Do not leave your retainer within reach of pets.
  • Clean retainers thoroughly once a day with a toothbrush. Use cold, not hot water. Brushing retainers removes the plaque and eliminates odors.
  • Visit your general dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
  • Always bring your retainers to your appointments so that we can check the fit and make any necessary adjustments.

If you do not wear your retainers as instructed, your teeth will move. If you miss a night, be sure to wear your retainer full time for a day or so. Make sure your retainer is completely in, this may cause your teeth to be sore, but they should realign. If they don’t, or if your retainer is lost or broken, please call us immediately for a replacement.

Retainer Insurance Program

Dr. Garlock is an exceptional orthodontist! The front desk staff are delightful and welcoming!
Response from the owner:I appreciate the kind and constructive words. Being treated like a lump of clay is 100% contradictory to how we want our patients to feel and be treated. I'm so sorry and we will be addressing this immediately. I can't see your name on the review, so I don't know who this is, but if you could speak with me at your next appointment that would be super helpful. Thanks! Dr G.
Deanna S.

Kelsi D.
I cannot recommend Dr. Garlock and his team enough! They helped me through double jaw surgery. Dr. Garlock’s knowledge, skill, and demeanor always put me at ease. I honestly don’t think my surgery would have been as successful without their help. I was terrified to have to go through the surgery and everyone was so compassionate during all of it.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that Dr. Garlock and the team made your experience comfortable and successful. Your satisfaction is our top priority. We appreciate your recommendation!
Eric K.
Had to show up unannounced for an expander adjustment at 3:30 on a Friday afternoon and they brought us in immediately, no questions asked and even switched my kid into a retainer instead, on the fly, with no extra cost. Really great experience with my kids ortho here overall!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we look forward to continuing to serve your family's orthodontic needs.
