Retainers at Dentiland: Your Smile’s Best Ally

At Dentiland in Tijuana, MX, we understand how much effort goes into achieving a beautifully aligned smile. Whether you’ve just completed orthodontic treatment with braces or aligners or need a retainer for other dental reasons, Dr. Licon and her team are here to guide you through this essential phase of your smile journey. Retainers are more than just a tool; they are a commitment to preserving the investment you’ve made in your dental health.

What Are Retainers?

Retainers are custom-made dental appliances designed to help maintain the position of your teeth after orthodontic treatment. They are essential for preventing teeth from shifting back to their original positions, a process known as orthodontic relapse.



At Dentiland, we provide a range of high-quality retainers tailored to your unique dental needs, ensuring comfort, durability, and effectiveness.

Custom Retainer Solutions Tailored to You

At Dentiland, we believe every smile deserves a personalized solution. Retainers aren’t one-size-fits-all; they need to perfectly fit your teeth, lifestyle, and long-term goals. Dr. Licon and her team specialize in creating retainers that reflect your unique needs, offering customized options designed with precision and care.

When you choose Dentiland, you can expect:

Our team begins by thoroughly evaluating your dental structure and lifestyle habits. Whether you’re an active athlete, a busy professional, or someone with specific dental concerns, we’ll design a retainer that fits seamlessly into your life.

We use the latest in dental technology, including 3D imaging and digital scanning, to create retainers that are not only highly effective but also incredibly comfortable. These tools allow us to craft retainers with pinpoint accuracy, minimizing the chances of discomfort or fit issues.

If discretion is important to you, we prioritize creating nearly invisible retainers. Many of our patients prefer clear, subtle options that don’t draw attention while maintaining their newly aligned teeth.

Retainers are a commitment, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. From ensuring a proper fit to providing regular adjustments, Dentiland offers long-term care to keep your smile looking its best.


At Dentiland, we don’t just give you a retainer; we provide peace of mind, knowing your smile is in expert hands.

Why Are Retainers So Important?

Orthodontic treatment doesn’t end when your braces are removed, or you finish using aligners. Teeth naturally tend to move over time due to daily pressures such as chewing, speaking, and natural aging. Without a retainer, your teeth may gradually shift, undoing months—or even years—of effort.


Retainers play a crucial role in:


  • Preventing Relapse: They maintain your teeth’s new alignment.
  • Preserving Your Bite: Orthodontic adjustments also affect your bite, which retainers help stabilize.
  • Supporting Jaw Health: Misaligned teeth can cause jaw pain and other issues. Retainers help prevent these complications.

What to Expect During Your Retainer Consultation

At Dentiland, we believe in a patient-centered approach. When you visit us for a retainer consultation, you can expect the following:


  • Comprehensive Examination: Dr. Licon will assess your teeth and discuss your orthodontic history to understand your needs fully.
  • Impressions or Scans: Depending on the type of retainer, we may take impressions or use advanced digital scanning technology to create a precise mold of your teeth.
  • Personalized Recommendations: Based on your evaluation, we’ll help you choose the best retainer option for your lifestyle.


Our goal is to ensure you leave Dentiland feeling confident in your choice and equipped with all the knowledge you need about your retainer.

Caring for Your Retainer

Proper care is essential to ensure your retainer remains effective and lasts as long as possible. Here are some general tips:

Clean Daily: Rinse your retainer with lukewarm water and use a soft toothbrush or specialized cleaning product to remove buildup. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the material.


Store Properly: Always keep your retainer in its case when not in use to avoid damage or loss.


Avoid Certain Foods: Sticky or hard foods can damage your retainer.

Brush and Floss Regularly: Use floss threaders or interdental brushes to clean around the wire and keep your teeth and gums healthy.


Routine Checkups: Visit Dentiland periodically to ensure your fixed retainer remains secure and in good condition.


By following these care instructions, you can maximize the lifespan of your retainer and maintain the alignment of your smile.

Retainers for More Than Orthodontics

While retainers are commonly associated with post-orthodontic care, they also serve other purposes. At Dentiland, we’ve helped patients use retainers for:


  • Teeth Grinding: Specialized retainers, often called night guards, protect teeth from damage caused by grinding (bruxism).
  • Speech Therapy: In some cases, retainers are used as tools to aid in correcting certain speech impediments.
  • Minor Adjustments: If you experience slight shifting of teeth, certain types of retainers can help realign them without the need for braces or aligners.


If you’re unsure whether a retainer could help with your specific dental needs, don’t hesitate to ask during your appointment.

 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Retainers

  • How long do I need to wear my retainer?

    Initially, you may need to wear your retainer full-time for several months. Over time, Dr. Licon will likely recommend wearing it only at night. Every case is different, so follow your personalized plan.

  • Are retainers uncomfortable?

    Feeling pressure or tightness is normal when you first start wearing a retainer. However, this discomfort usually subsides after a few days.

  • What happens if I lose or damage my retainer?

    Contact Dentiland immediately. We can create a replacement retainer to ensure your teeth stay in alignment.

  • Can I eat or drink while wearing my retainer?

    Removable retainers should be removed before eating to prevent damage and staining. However, with fixed retainers, you can eat normally, though cleaning afterward is essential.

  • How much do retainers cost?

    The cost varies depending on the type of retainer and your specific needs. At Dentiland, we offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options to make retainers affordable for all our patients.
