Bonded Retainers
Finishing orthodontic treatment is a big milestone—but keeping your smile straight is just as important as creating it. Teeth naturally try to shift over time, especially in the months and years after treatment.
Bonded retainers offer a simple, long-term way to help protect your results and keep your smile looking the way it should.
What Is a Bonded Retainer?
A bonded retainer is a thin, custom-shaped wire that is gently bonded to the backs of your front teeth with a small amount of dental adhesive. Because it sits behind your teeth, it’s completely hidden when you smile or speak.
Bonded retainers are most commonly placed on the lower front teeth, where shifting is most common after orthodontic treatment.
Benefits of Bonded Retainers
One of the biggest advantages of a bonded retainer is that it works continuously without requiring you to remember to wear it. Since it’s fixed in place, it helps keep your teeth aligned around the clock.
It’s comfortable, discreet, and easy to maintain with regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits. Bonded retainers provide dependable, long-term protection for the beautiful smile you worked hard to achieve at Hanseen Orthodontics.
Enamel Contouring
Orthodontic treatment straightens your teeth, but small differences in tooth shape can sometimes affect the balance of your smile. Enamel contouring is a simple cosmetic finishing step that can refine the edges of your teeth and enhance the final appearance of your smile.
What Is Enamel Contouring?
Enamel contouring is a quick procedure that gently reshapes very small areas of tooth enamel to improve the overall look of your teeth.
Dr. Hanseen carefully smooths or adjusts minor imperfections, such as uneven edges, small overlaps, or slightly pointed tooth shapes. Because only a tiny amount of enamel is adjusted, the process is conservative and typically completed in just one visit.
Benefits of Enamel Contouring
Even small adjustments can make a noticeable difference in how your smile looks. Enamel contouring can create a more balanced, polished appearance by smoothing edges and refining tooth shapes.
The procedure is fast, comfortable, and requires no recovery time, allowing you to leave your appointment with a more refined version of the smile you achieved through treatment at Hanseen Orthodontics.
Straighten Your Smile
Dr. Hanseen pairs cutting-edge tech with the skill of moving teeth to successfully treat many dental issues, like:
- Gaps between your teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Protruding teeth
- Impacted teeth
Metal Braces & Other Options
Most patients we treat at Hanseen choose traditional metal braces to straighten their teeth, but you have other options, too.
After your first free consultation exam, Dr. Hanseen will discuss which treatment would be right for you based on your unique needs and smile goals.
Fixed vs. Removable Appliances
At Hanseen Orthodontics, you'll be fully educated regarding your treatment. It's helpful to understand the difference between fixed and removable appliances at our Glendora office.
Dr. Hanseen attaches fixed appliances, like braces, to your teeth and won't take them off until you complete your treatment. When we prescribe a removable device like Invisalign's aligner system, you'll wear it most of the day, but you can take the trays out of your mouth.
You understand the surface differences, but Hanseen Orthodontics uses Invisalign aligners to treat mild to moderate orthodontic problems. Dr. Hanseen generally uses fixed appliances for severe and comprehensive treatment.
