Retainers in Las Vegas, Nevada
Retainers in Las Vegas, Nevada, help protect the time, money and effort you have invested in a straighter smile. After orthodontic treatment, teeth can slowly shift out of place without the right support. At Preferred Family Dentistry, our dentist and team provide custom retainers designed to help keep your smile aligned, comfortable and stable.
Whether you recently completed orthodontic treatment or need to replace a lost, broken or worn retainer, we can help you take the next step. Call 702-433-0355 today to schedule a visit.
Why Retainers Are Important
Retainers are made to hold your teeth in their corrected positions after orthodontic care. Teeth naturally move over time, especially after braces or clear aligner treatment. Wearing a retainer as directed helps reduce unwanted shifting and supports long-term results.
You may need a retainer if:
- You recently finished orthodontic treatment
- Your current retainer feels loose, tight or uncomfortable
- Your retainer is cracked, damaged or missing
- You notice your teeth beginning to shift
- You want to protect your smile after alignment treatment
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your appointment begins with an evaluation of your teeth, bite and current retainer needs. Dr. Salmeh Jafarifar will review your smile and explain whether a new or replacement retainer may be right for you. With years of experience and a patient-centered approach, our team focuses on comfort, fit and long-term smile stability.
If a retainer is recommended, we will take the needed records to create a custom fit. Our dentist will also explain how often to wear your retainer and how to care for it at home.
Benefits of Custom Retainers
A custom retainer is designed to fit your mouth closely and comfortably. This helps it work more effectively than a generic or poorly fitted appliance.
Benefits may include:
- Helping prevent teeth from shifting
- Protecting orthodontic results
- Supporting a more stable bite
- Providing a comfortable custom fit
- Helping you maintain confidence in your smile
If your retainer no longer fits properly, do not force it into place. Contact our office so we can evaluate your smile and recommend the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions About Retainers
How long do I need to wear my retainer?
Wear time varies by patient. Many patients wear retainers more often at first, then transition to nighttime wear as directed by their dental provider.
What should I do if I lost my retainer?
Schedule a visit as soon as possible. Teeth can begin to shift when a retainer is not worn, so replacing it quickly can help protect your results.
Why does my retainer feel tight?
A tight retainer may mean your teeth have shifted slightly. If it feels painful or does not fit fully, contact our office before forcing it into place.
How should I clean my retainer?
Clean your retainer daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap. Avoid hot water because heat can warp the material and affect the fit.
