Are you wearing your retainer?

If you recently completed treatment at Elvebak Orthodontics, we’d like to congratulate you! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Elvebak will provide—or has provided you—with retainers. After braces are removed, teeth can shift without stabilization. Retainers provide that stabilization. They hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by Dr. Elvebak is the best insurance that your new smile will last a lifetime.
