Retainers & Retainer Replacements in Burbank

Keep Your Smile Straight with Custom Retainers

Completing orthodontic treatment is just the beginning—long-term stability depends on a quality retainer and a simple, consistent wear routine. At Coastland Dental, we create comfortable, durable retainers using precise digital scans and can quickly replace a lost, damaged, or ill-fitting retainer to prevent unwanted shifting. Options include clear Essix-style, traditional Hawley, and fixed/bonded retainers—each tailored to your bite and lifestyle.

Keep Your Smile Straight for Life

Whether you’ve just completed braces or aligner treatment—or it’s been years since—you can maintain your results with consistent retainer wear. If your retainer is lost, damaged, or no longer fits properly, we’ll take same-day digital scans, review the best option for you (clear, Hawley, or bonded), and provide an easy wear-and-care plan to protect your alignment long-term. We’re conveniently located in Burbank, CA. Call (818) 938-2224 to schedule your retainer appointment, check your fit, or request a quick replacement.

Why Retainers Are So Important

Orthodontic treatment doesn’t end the day your braces or aligners are removed. Retainers prevent teeth from shifting back toward their original positions, safeguarding the time and investment you’ve made in your smile. Without consistent wear, relapse is common—and alignment changes can occur more quickly than you might expect.
  • Post-treatment stability Crucial after Invisalign® or braces to maintain results long-term.
  • Relapse prevention Helps prevent crowding or shifting in patients prone to misalignment.
  • Protection for grinders Durable retainer options can help manage clenching or grinding at night.
  • Bite correction support Preserves improvements made through bite or jaw adjustments.
At Coastland Dental in Burbank, our retainers are custom-made, comfortable, and durable—available in both removable and fixed styles to fit your needs.

Types of Retainers We Offer

  • Clear plastic (Essix) retainers Lightweight and nearly invisible—great for daily wear and subtle retention.
  • Hawley retainers Classic acrylic-and-wire design that is durable, adjustable, and can allow for minor bite refinements.
  • Fixed (bonded) retainers A slim wire bonded behind the front teeth for 24/7 retention—ideal for patients at higher risk of relapse.
Not sure which option is best for you? We’ll evaluate your bite, oral habits, and long-term goals to recommend a retainer that keeps your smile stable and comfortable.

How to Care for Your Retainer

Proper care extends the life of your retainer and keeps your smile stable. Keep it clean, protected, and regularly checked.
  • Clean daily Use a soft brush and mild soap—avoid toothpaste, which can scratch plastic surfaces.
  • Store safely Always place your retainer in its case when it’s not being worn.
  • Avoid heat Hot water or high temperatures can warp plastic retainers.
  • Bring to checkups We’ll inspect, clean, and adjust your retainer as needed.
  • For fixed retainers Brush and floss carefully around bonded wires to prevent plaque buildup.

Need a Retainer Replacement? We Can Help.

If your retainer is lost, cracked, or no longer fits, it’s important to replace it promptly—teeth can shift quickly without support. At Coastland Dental in Burbank, we use digital impressions (iTero, Medit, TRIOS) to capture a precise 3D model without messy molds, then fabricate replacements using CAD/CAM and in-house 3D technology for a fast, accurate, and comfortable fit. Protect your investment in your smile—contact us today to get a new retainer and a simple wear plan to keep your results secure.

Most patients wear their retainer full-time at first, then transition to nighttime use. Long-term wear is often necessary to maintain results.

Contact us right away. The sooner you replace it, the better your chances of preventing shifting.

If it still fits properly, yes. But if it feels tight, loose, or painful, it’s time for a new one.

With proper care, a retainer can last 5–10 years. Plastic models may need to be replaced more often than metal or bonded retainers.

Yes. Even a few days without it can cause noticeable shifting, especially in the first year after treatment.

Thanks to our in-house digital scanning and 3D printing tech, we can often deliver replacements quickly—sometimes the same day.

Some dental plans include coverage for orthodontic retainers. We’ll help you check your benefits.

Use a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid hot water, toothpaste, or harsh chemicals that can damage the material.
