A great smile isn’t just achieved, it’s maintained. After orthodontic treatment, retainers help preserve your results, keeping your teeth comfortably in their new positions.
Once orthodontic treatment is complete, your teeth can slowly drift if they aren’t supported. Retainers help hold your smile in its new position, ensuring the results you worked toward stay stable over time. Consistent wear is what turns a finished treatment into a lasting one.
Dr. Riaño encourages patients to think of retainers as part of a balanced daily routine, much like winding down in the evening or starting the morning with intention. Small, steady habits that protect the progress you’ve made and help your smile age beautifully.









Coverage for retainers varies across dental plans in Sonoma, and benefits are often time-specific after orthodontic treatment ends. Our team takes the time to walk you through your coverage, clarify what may be included, and outline straightforward payment options for replacement retainers if needed.
We believe transparency around costs matters just as much as the care itself, so you can make decisions with confidence, without unnecessary stress.
