Retainer Services for Patients from Broad Axe at Our Plymouth Meeting Office
After months of orthodontic treatment, the last thing you want is for your teeth to shift back. Retainers are the essential final step in any orthodontic journey — they hold your teeth in their new positions and protect the investment you’ve made in your smile. Becker Orthodontics provides comprehensive retainer services to patients from Broad Axe at our Plymouth Meeting office, located at 1310 Germantown Pike, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462. Whether you’ve just completed braces or clear aligner treatment, or you simply need a replacement for a retainer you’ve outgrown or lost, we’re here to help.
Retainer Options Available at Our Plymouth Meeting Office
Every patient’s retention needs are different. Dr. Ryan Becker and our team take a personalized approach to determine the right type of retainer for your teeth, your lifestyle, and your long-term goals. We offer both removable and fixed retainers, and we’re happy to see patients who completed treatment at another practice.
| Retainer Type | How It Works | Best For | Maintenance |
| Removable (Hawley) | Wire and acrylic plate, worn over teeth | Patients who want flexibility | Easy to clean; removable for eating |
| Removable (Clear/Essix) | Clear plastic tray, fits over teeth | Patients wanting a discreet option | Rinse daily; avoid heat |
| Fixed (Bonded) | Thin wire bonded to the back of teeth | Long-term passive retention | Floss threader required; no removal |
Following your wear schedule is critical — skipping retainer use, even for short periods, can allow teeth to drift. Our team will walk you through exactly how and when to wear your retainer so your results last for years to come. We also schedule regular check-ups to monitor fit and make adjustments if needed, and replacement or repair services are always available.
