Preserve Your Bite

As we age, everything changes: our bodies, our friends, our neighbors, our world! Change is the one constant, and good! For some of us, we were fortunate, and had our teeth and bite improved with orthodontics. And therefore we want to keep the good change as long as possible. A new bite and better appearance has improved our health and possibly self esteem. It was an expensive process of not only money, but time. At the end of treatment, some type of teeth and bite holding device was prescribed by your doctor. These are generally called retainers, but nightguards/biteguards can serve the same purpose. These appliances, although not active, are the only way we can stop change in our mouths!! I suggest you wear a retainer for life! Of course, life is busy and distracting and good and not so good sometimes, and we don't focus on our beautiful teeth until they are not beautiful. A FIXED retainer, which is cemented to your teeth can sometimes take the burden of another thing to think about off our minds. These fixed retainers can last a long time. New tech has made them extremely precise and accurate. I can deliver the perfect retainer for you and your specific bite. To conclude, change is inevitable, and your new bite was created with intention and care. The care has to continue as long as you want to keep what you have gained. Let’s stay youthful for as long as we can-work out, eat right, and retain our teeth! This is true conservation.
