Congratulations—your braces are off! That’s a huge milestone, but now comes the important part: keeping that beautifully aligned smile in place.
Teeth have a natural tendency to shift, even after years of orthodontic treatment. Without a retainer, all that effort could slowly unravel, causing teeth to move back to their original positions. Think of retainers as insurance for your smile—a simple but essential step in maintaining your orthodontic results.
Not sure if you’re choosing the right retainer? Curious about costs? We’ve got you covered. Learn how much retainers cost and what to expect when making this long-term investment in your smile.
Dr. Cameron Hulse grew up in Southern Orange County, California. While in his own orthodontic treatment in high school, Dr. Hulse realized how much his new smile changed him and decided he wanted to improve other’s teeth and smiles. Dr. Hulse pursued his dream and completed a BS in Zoology at Brigham Young University. Then he was selected to attend the University of Southern California’s prestigious School of Dentistry where he received his D.D.S.. After Dental School, he switched coasts and completed his orthodontic residency at Jacksonville University where he received his CAGS.
