Find a LocationWhat Are Retainers?
Once you are done with your orthodontic treatment, you will likely need to get a retainer to maintain your results. Your retainer will protect the investment you've made — in time and money — by keeping your teeth in their new place while your gums and jaw stabilize. To serve the demands of our patients, Concerned Dental Care in New York City, NY offers many high-quality retainer options, like a removable or fixed retainer. When deciding which retainer is best for you, our dental team will guide you along the way and explain all your options. For more information on retainers and other orthodontic treatments, contact your nearest location in New York today.
What Type of Retainers Are Offered?
At Concerned Dental Care, we offer our patients three different kinds of retainers based on each patient's needs: a clear, fixed, or Hawley retainer. A Hawley retainer (the most frequently used type of retainer) is made up of molded plastic, wire, and clasps that may be removed. A clear retainer is inconspicuously worn just like a clear teeth aligner and can be removed from the mouth quite easily. A fixed retainer cannot be taken out of the mouth since it is secured to the back of your teeth on one or both arches.
Concerned Dental Care Reviews
Great experience
I am new patient and this review is specific about Alexandra, who helped with scheduling and logistics. She was extremely professional, kind, and skilled in scheduling. Although there were no appointments available without a long wait, she booked an appointment for me and said she would call back if an opening came through cancellation. She texted me all of the contact information for her, the practice, the appointment information, and what I would need. And when a cancellation came up, she called me and rescheduled my appointment.Having worked in scheduling before, I know it's not magic to efficiently collect insurance info, check schedules, and follow up on cancellations -- even when it fells magical -- it's skill. Really impressive.
This is a Most Do Review..I always grow up with FEAR to dentists, this is why I ended up with very bad dental issues.. till I finally found Concern Dental .. and meet my Dentist..Dr.Evan B. Schwarz.

It's great to know when staff cares and goes the extra mile to help people make an appointment.My tooth is still savable but every in-network endodontist within a 50 mi radius had no appointments until at least August. But at concerned dental care Alexandra put me on a wait list and quickly called me back to fill the next available cancellation. So grateful; teeth are a great thing to take care of
Went to get a cleaning today with my kids, i usually go there but this time i had Beth the dental hygienist this was my first time meeting her, she was friendly, professional and so gentle, was very happy with my cleaning, thank you for your great service Beth.

Do I Need A Retainer?
Retainers are advised for everyone as soon as they finish an orthodontic treatment. Even though your teeth are set in their new position, a retainer can help keep them in place while the rest of your mouth adapts. A retainer is ideal for younger patients who are still waiting for all their permanent teeth to come in or while their jawbone is still forming.
What is the Process of Getting A Retainer?
When your orthodontics are taken off your teeth, you can start your retainer process. We'll make an impression of your mouth and send it to a dental laboratory. Once your retainer is returned about 1 – 2 weeks later, we will schedule an office visit. At this appointment, we will make sure that your retainer is comfortable before you leave. We will also discuss when you have to use your retainer as well as how to clean and store it.

About UsWhat Can I Expect After I Get My Retainer?
How long you have to use your retainer will vary. It is usually suggested to use your retainer until all of your permanent teeth come in and when your jaw is done growing (normally around 20 – 25 years old). With good maintenance and routine inspections, your retainer can last for a very long time. Over time and with standard wear and tear, your retainer might have to be replaced. We will let you know when it should be replaced. Meanwhile, you should practice daily cleaning and safely keep your retainer if not being used. If your retainer has been lost or damaged, contact our office to receive a new retainer.
Are Retainers Covered By Insurance?
A retainer could be included as part of your dental therapy. During your consultation, we will go over your retainer options and price estimates. If you are using dental insurance, we'll contact your supplier to determine if any of your expenses are covered, then calculate your out-of-pocket costs. We accept many payment methods, including medical financing, to make getting a retainer easier for our New York City and surrounding area patients.
