Retainer Placement & Orthodontist Services | Maintain Your Perfect Smile

What Is Retainer Placement?

Retainer placement is a crucial step following orthodontic treatment to maintain the alignment of your teeth. Retainers prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions, ensuring your smile remains straight and well-aligned over time.

Orthodontist Services

Orthodontics is the dental specialty focused on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Treatments include braces, clear aligners, and other corrective devices to improve bite, function, and aesthetics. At Skin House, our orthodontic specialists provide customized treatment plans for both children and adults.
