Do you really need to keep wearing your retainer after braces or Invisalign?

Short answer: YES! Retainers are a long-term part of orthodontic care.

Teeth naturally continue to shift throughout life. A retainer helps maintain the alignment achieved during orthodontic treatment and protects all the work that went into your new smile. The American Association of Orthodontists specifically notes that lifelong tooth movement is normal and wearing a retainer is the key way to limit that movement after treatment.

Depending on your treatment and your smile, your orthodontist will tell you how often your retainer should be worn.

And if you've lost or damaged yours? Don't wait until you notice your teeth shifting to ask about a replacement.

Montoya Orthodontics offers several types of retainers for patients.

Save this one for the day you're tempted to skip your retainer. 😉

Tink braces are just for kids? Think again.

Orthodontic treatment can be an option at almost any age, and plenty of adults decide to straighten their teeth or address bite and alignment concerns later in life.

At Montoya Orthodontics, we offer adult orthodontic treatment including traditional braces, clear ceramic braces and Invisalign clear aligners.

So if you’ve been thinking, “I missed my chance,” you probably haven’t.

Braces or Invisalign? Which orthodontic treatment is right for you?

The answer isn't the same for everyone.

Traditional braces can be a great option for correcting a wide range of orthodontic concerns, while Invisalign clear aligners offer a removable, more discreet treatment option for many patients. Montoya Orthodontics offers both in Keller, Texas.

The best treatment depends on your smile, your goals and your individual orthodontic needs.

That's why Dr. Montoya evaluates each patient personally before recommending a treatment plan.

When should your child first see an orthodontist?

The answer surprises a lot of parents: by age 7.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic evaluation by age 7 because children typically have a mix of baby and permanent teeth at this stage. That gives an orthodontist an opportunity to evaluate how the teeth, bite and jaws are developing.

Of course an orthodontic evaluation at 7 does not automatically mean braces at 7.

Sometimes the best plan is simply to monitor your child's growth and development until the timing is right.
