Clear Retainers
When braces are ready to come off, most of our patients receive clear retainers. These thin, transparent trays fit snugly over your teeth — similar in appearance to an Invisalign® aligner. Clear retainers are a popular option, especially among adult patients, because they’re affordable, discreet, and easy to wear. Be sure to brush your retainer each time you remove it and before putting it back in to keep it clean and fresh.
Bonded Stabilizing Retainers
Also known as fixed retainers, bonded retainers are often recommended for patients at higher risk of tooth movement after treatment. Made from a slim metal wire that’s cemented to the back of your lower front teeth, this retainer stays in place 24/7 to help prevent shifting.
Fixed retainers are very effective and low-maintenance, but they do require special care — you’ll need to use a floss threader to keep the area clean. If your bonded retainer becomes loose, just reach out to our office to schedule a quick repair.
Keep in mind that bonded retainers only stabilize the front 4 – 6 teeth, so we always pair them with clear retainers to ensure your entire smile stays in place. Not everyone is a candidate for a bonded retainer, so Dr. Hendrix will guide you through your best options.

What a great experience! Dr. Hendrix was excellent as was his staff. Ashlynne was very good and proficient when it came time to get my braces off. I would highly recommend Hendrix Orthodontics!!
Dr Hendrix and staff have now treated both of my daughters and left them with beautiful smiles! Great care and treatment at Hendrix Orthodontics! I highly recommend this practice.
I recently finished my orthodontic treatment and had my braces removed, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The entire process was smooth from start to finish, and the team was always professional, friendly, and supportive. They made sure I understood every step and truly cared about my comfort and outcome. Highly recommend!
Hendrix Orthodontics is a warm, welcoming and flexible place. All four of our children were patients of Dr. Hendrix, and we are thrilled with the outcome as their teeth look great. We are grateful for the professional care they received and recommend this office to anyone in need of or considering braces.
