Retainers in Lake Charles & Sulphur, LA
Protect your investment and keep your smile straight for life
Why Retainers Matter
After months of orthodontic treatment with braces or Lefort Aligners, your teeth are in their new positions, but they are not done settling. Without a retainer, teeth have a natural tendency to shift back toward their original alignment, especially in the first year after treatment is complete.
At Lefort Orthodontics, we fit every patient with a custom retainer designed to maintain the results you worked hard to achieve. Dr. Lefort will recommend the right type of retainer for your case and provide clear instructions on wear and care. Whether you completed treatment at our Lake Charles or Sulphur office, we are here to help protect your smile.
- Custom-fitted to your post-treatment smile
- Removable and fixed options available
- Replacement retainers available if needed
- Essential for maintaining your orthodontic results
Types of Retainers
Clear Removable Retainers
Custom-molded clear trays similar in appearance to clear aligners. Nearly invisible and easy to remove for eating and cleaning.
Hawley Retainers
Traditional removable retainers with a wire that sits across the front teeth and an acrylic piece that rests against the roof of the mouth. Durable and adjustable.
Fixed (Bonded) Retainers
A thin wire bonded to the back of your front teeth for continuous, maintenance-free retention. Ideal for patients who prefer a set-it-and-forget-it approach.
