Are retainers a must?

Are retainers a must?

Anyone who tells you that you shouldn’t wear retainers is tricking you because teeth will always want to move to a certain point. So yes, with braces and with Invisalign retainers are a must if you want to preserve the results that you achieve. I say it’s similar to dieting, if you go on a diet and you lose weight, you can’t go back to the same old lifestyle.

You have to maintain your healthy eating habits in order to keep the weight off. So, it’s the same with Invisalign. You’ve got to wear retainers. With braces, retainers are essential to prevent your teeth from moving back to their original position. Consult a trusted Wheelers Hill dentist for guidance on maintaining your smile post-treatment.

    Terms & Conditions  –  New Patient Offer

    1. The $199 New Patient Offer is available to new patients attending Liberty Dental Centre for their first appointment only.
    2. The offer includes:
      • Comprehensive dental examination
      • Dental radiographs (X-rays) and photos as required
      • Digital Intra-oral scan as required
      • Gum disease screening
      • Oral cancer screening
      • Standard scale and clean
      • Fluoride treatment
    3. All components of the offer are intended to be completed during a single appointment unless otherwise advised by the treating clinician.
    4. Some patients with advanced gum disease may require treatment beyond a standard scale and clean.
      • If this is identified during your examination, your treating clinician will explain the condition and discuss the most appropriate treatment recommendations with you.
      • In these circumstances, the standard clean included in the promotion may not be clinically appropriate and therefore may not be performed at that appointment.
      • The $199 promotional fee will still apply as the consultation, examination, diagnostic assessments and clinical recommendations will have been provided.
    5. The New Patient Offer is a fixed promotional package fee:
      • For patients with private health insurance, eligible dental item numbers associated with the services provided during the appointment will be processed through your health fund.
      • Health fund rebates vary depending on your level of cover.
      • In some cases, your health fund rebate may exceed the promotional package fee of $199. Any excess rebate cannot be refunded, credited, or transferred toward other treatment or future appointments.
      • If the health fund rebate is below $199, you will be required to pay the difference
    6. This promotion cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer, promotion, government scheme, or discount. Liberty Dental Centre reserves the right to amend or withdraw this promotion at any time without notice.
