You’ve worn aligners, followed your plan, and finally revealed that stunning new smile in the mirror. So now you’re done, right? Not quite.
Here’s the truth: your treatment isn’t truly complete without a retainer. While it may seem like the final step, it’s actually the most important one. Why? Because retainers aren’t a choice — they’re the guarantee that all your effort wasn’t for nothing.
Teeth are naturally mobile. After orthodontic treatment, they want to shift back to their original positions. It’s called orthodontic relapse, and it happens more often than you think—especially when retainers are skipped or worn inconsistently.
Think of your aligner journey like building a sandcastle. You sculpt and shape it carefully. But if you don’t build a barrier against the tide, the ocean (aka your body’s natural tendencies) will wash it away. Retainers are that barrier.
Retainers preserve your smile by:
Holding teeth in place while bones stabilize
Preventing relapse after orthodontic movement
Protecting your investment—financially and physically
Skipping your retainer could undo months of effort in just a few weeks. That’s a high price to pay for a small oversight.
At NewSmile, we believe that protecting your smile should be as easy as creating it. That’s why every treatment includes custom retainers designed for comfort, durability, and long-term support. Plus, we make replacements affordable—because life happens, and your smile should stay perfect no matter what.

🦷 Pro tip: Wearing your retainer nightly after treatment is the gold standard for lifelong results.
You’ve already done the hard part. Don’t risk it by skipping the finish line. Retainers aren’t a suggestion—they’re the reason your smile stays picture-perfect for years to come.
Retainers don’t just hold your teeth in place—they hold the promise of your dream smile. And with NewSmile by your side, that promise is one you can keep.
