"Hey Dr. Kim! What's the deal with retainers?"

If you've recently completed treatment at Kim Orthodontics, our entire staff would like to congratulate you, again! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Brian Kim will provide—or has provided you—with retainers. After braces are removed, teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers, however, provide that stabilization. They are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by Dr. Kim is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for an entire lifetime.
