Retainers
Congratulations on completing your orthodontic treatment with Skopek Orthodontics! We are confident that you’ll love the results, and we want to help protect those results for a lifetime. After you get your braces or clear aligners removed, our Skopek Orthodontics team will scan new, pristine smile and create a custom-fitted clear retainer so your dream smile can be preserved forever!
Retainers are an essential part of the orthodontic treatment process because they are responsible for preventing your teeth from shifting back to their original position, and they maintain all of the hard work and time you dedicate to your braces or Invisalign journey. At our North Barrington office, Dr. Skopek and his team provide custom-made clear retainers that are comfortable, discreet, and effective in maintaining your new smile. With consistent wear and proper care, your retainer will help ensure your smile stays in perfect condition for years to come.

The Importance of Retainers
Consistency is key in preserving your new smile. After your orthodontic treatment is complete, it’s important to wear your retainer each night while you sleep – this helps maintain your results and prevent your teeth from shifting over time.
After a few months, wearing your retainer becomes second nature, like brushing your teeth. But retainers can still be lost or damaged. If this happens, simply contact our North Barrington, IL office. Because we keep a digital scan of your teeth on file, we can quickly create a replacement retainer to help keep your smile on track.
At Skopek Orthodontics, we’re committed to helping you protect your smile for years to come.

Retainer Care Tips
Tip #1
Soak Your Retainer
When you remove your retainer each morning, soak it in a retainer cleaning solution, or in a mixture of baking soda and water, to kill bacteria and minimize germs.
Tip #2
Clean Your Case
Once a week, clean your retainer case with soapy water to neutralize odors and eliminate bacteria from residing in your case.
Tip #3
Brush Retainer
Remember to periodically brush your retainer with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste to keep your retainer in pristine condition.
