Permanent Retainers

Permanent Retainers/Bonded Retainers

After orthodontics, teeth tend to want to shift toward their original pre-treatment position.  Traditional removable retainers have been an unreliable solution to prevent this problem.  However, Dr. Majznerski has had great success with permanent bonded retainers.  What is a bonded retainer?


The bonded retainer is placed in such a way that the patient is able to pass dental floss between each of their teeth.  There is special dental floss called "Floss Threaders" that we give each of our patients that have a bonded retainer and they are instructed as to how to use this floss. 




Patients love bonded retainers because they are reliable, hassle free, don't get lost and are invisible, even when flashing your broad new perfect smile.
