About Retainers
Retainers are custom-made dental devices designed to keep your teeth in their newly aligned positions after orthodontic treatment, such as braces or aligners. At Yanga Dental Clinic, we provide high-quality retainers tailored for comfort, durability, and long-term effectiveness.
Wearing your retainer as prescribed is critical to maintaining the results of your orthodontic treatment. Without a retainer, your teeth may gradually shift back to their original positions.
We offer both fixed (bonded) and removable (Hawley or clear) retainers, depending on your needs and lifestyle.
Cost
- ₦40,000 – ₦100,000 per retainer
- Pricing depends on type (fixed or removable) and material
- Instalment payment available
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I need to wear a retainer?
Initially, you may need to wear your retainer full-time for a few months. After that, nighttime wear is usually sufficient for long-term results.
Can I eat with my retainer on?
Removable retainers should be taken out when eating. Fixed retainers stay in place but require extra care during brushing and flossing.
What happens if I lose my retainer?
Contact us immediately to avoid relapse. We can replace it with a new one as soon as possible.
How do I clean my retainer?
Use a soft toothbrush with mild soap or retainer cleaning solutions. Avoid hot water to prevent warping.
Are retainers included with braces or aligner treatments?
Yes. We typically include a set of retainers after orthodontic treatment to preserve your results. Additional sets may be purchased if needed.
