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
I am a new patient , unfortunately I did not get names . I will next time I go and update my review. The front end staff was very kind and easy to talk to, the tech that did my Xrays was very informative, gentle and kind, the Dr.didnt mind repeating what he had said to me so that I got a full understanding of what I needed . I went there nervous and left feeling that I had made the right choice by traveling to New York from New Jersey to go to Concerned Dental . I have to return to have work done and will update as well. At this point I give a 10 /10 ..
This was my first time at Concerned Dental. I was cheerfully greeted at the front desk. Everybody was friendly and welcoming. X-rays were taken and Chris cleaned my teeth. He did a great job and gave me some good advice about cleaning my teeth. The doctor came in and based on my X-rays, gave me advice about some work that I needed and how best to proceed.There was a problem with my insurance and the ladies at the desk gave assured me that it could be worked out.All in all I had a very positive experience.Thank you all.
My visit was great. I was able to check my kids in in less than two hours.The dentist and the hygienists were very kid-friendly. I like that they asked my kids questions about their oral health and shared their knowledge.I recommend this place 💯.
Great service!
For as long as I can remember, I loathed going to the dentist (dental anxiety), but ever since I became a patient here, it's truly been great. Everyone who works there has been nothing but sweet, kind, and caring. I would absolutely recommend this place!

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.
