Orthodontic Retainers in
Miami Lakes
Why Use Retainers?
Many people think that treatment stops once a specific procedure is done or when braces have been removed. However, teeth and bones are capable of shifting back to their original positions. The human face has the capacity to change even as they age. As people mature so do their teeth and face.
Patients who have received treatments to straighten their teeth are at risk of having teeth fall back to their old positions. In fact, there’s a term for it in the world of dentistry – its occurrence is known as a relapse. When relapse happens, the previous treatment loses its effect as teeth may become misaligned once again. Orthodontic retainers help to keep teeth in their correct place until the body has fully adapted to the change.
What Are Orthodontic Retainers?
Orthodontic retainers are custom made oral devices. These are commonly made from plastic and wire and are fitted into the mouth.
Often these are used before or after using a dental brace. Retainers are customized to specifically fit a patient’s mouth. This ensures that proper support is provided for the teeth and gums to stay in place after treatment. The most common type of retainers has a wire which runs through the front of the teeth. Although these can be seen, they are much less are visible than orthodontic braces.
Using your Retainers
It is important that patients use their retainers as instructed by their dentist. Failing to follow proper wearing instructions or not wearing orthodontic retainers for the prescribed period will result in relapse.
Having the right retainers and following proper instructions for these devices is the best way to retain the alignment of your teeth after wearing braces or undergoing certain procedures.

I was at All Dental Group in Miami Lakes for a filling of a front tooth, the procedure was done with out no pain at all, I was really surprised, because some doctors they do not care when they touch the tooth nerve, but the doctor at ADG, was very careful … More and asked me if I felt any pain, she has good hands , pain, I will go back again if I need any other procedure on my teeth. I will recommend. -
This office is absolutely amazing!
I first came in a little over a year ago for a consult for aligners and flash forward to now, I am currently on month two of my retainers.
Treatment:
As far as aligners, I had a very severe case of crowding with my teeth … More and they are completely straight now. Invisalign works guys! You just have to be consistent and listen to your orthodontist orders, they know what they are doing.
Customer Service:
Everyone at this office from the front desk staff to the doctors, to the assistants are incredibly professional and kind. I felt like I was at home every monthly visit and looked forward to them.
Price:
Very, very fair pricing compared to most places, every case differs obviously but Invisalign is known for being overpriced in most places. This place charges very fairly in my opinion.
Overall, very satisfied with my experience here, if you are getting aligners you wont regret choosing All Dental Group, they know what they are doing and genuinely care about their patients.
If you are doing something else, I still recommend this place, this is now my primary dentist office, I get my 6-month cleanings done here and everything. -
This place is amazing. All the girls that work there are all so nice and patient. Dr. Gherdeli is wonderful and very helpful with all our dental needs. My kids and my husband like her very much as well. My oldest daughter is Autistic and they were very … More patient and very sweet with her.🩷 I Highly recommend all dental group
