Retainer Insurance
Braces move your teeth, and wearing a retainer at night keeps your teeth in place, insuring that your beautiful smile lasts a lifetime. We want to do everything we can to support our patients in sticking with this final stage of treatment!
Our retainer insurance program covers replacement retainers for seven years post-treatment. That means it's easy and affordable to replace a retainer that breaks or gets lost.
Maximize convenience:
start treatment the same day as your consultation.
