Keeping Your Teeth Firmly in Place
You’re about to have your braces off after months of treatment and you couldn’t be happier. But braces aren’t the final step to beautifully straight teeth. To ensure they don’t shift into their pre-treatment position, retention is necessary. By wearing retainers as instructed by Dr. Bart, you won’t have to worry about undoing the results you’ve waited for. Dr. Bart provides various types of retainers and will direct you through this final step in your orthodontic treatment. If you need any kind of dental retainer in Rockwall and Canton, TX, he’s the doctor to see, so call us today.

Trusted Authority in Orthodontics
A renowned orthodontist, Dr. Bart specializes in identifying, preventing, and treating teeth alignment issues and neuromuscular and skeletal defects of the orofacial area. Though many general dentists can provide braces and retainers, they lack advanced orthodontic training. After graduating from dental school, Dr. Bart completed a further two years of residency training in an intensive orthodontic specialty program. With the combination of his extended education and 25+ years in practice, he has the best qualifications to provide all phases of your care — including a dental retainer in Rockwall and Canton, TX.
Types of Orthodontic Retainers
We have retainers in Rockwall to fit your needs and preferences. Remember, we offer low-pressure consultations where determining the right solution for you—not selling you something—is our primary objective. All of our retainers are customized to fit you:
Clear Retainer
This is a removable, clear plastic tray that Dr. Bart fits over your teeth. Like Invisalign®, this is designed to provide discreet treatment.
Traditional Retainer
This is a removable appliance made from acrylic and wire that we place along the front side of your teeth. The acrylic parts sit on your palate and the lingual (tongue) side of your lower teeth.
Bonded Retainer
This is a thin, fixed (meaning non-removable) wire that we temporarily bond to the lingual side surfaces of your front teeth.
Consistency Is Key
Our goal is that your teeth will stay straight for a lifetime after braces. But this is only possible if you use your dental retainer as instructed. Wear your retainer every day for the best results. Skipping just one or two days can cause setbacks in your treatment. Also, be sure to clean your retainer multiple times each day, as it may become stained easily or collect food debris. You don’t want those newly straightened teeth developing cavities! You may need to wear your retainer for up to one year; Dr. Bart will let you know when you no longer need to use it. With your treatment completed, you can fully enjoy your smile without any appliances.
Types of Mouthguards
Dr. Bart is here to make sure your mouth (and appliances) remain protected no matter if it’s bruxism, TMJ, or a sports-related injury you’re looking to avoid. There are two different types of mouthguards we offer at Rockwall Crossing Orthodontics. They include:
Nightguards
A custom-made nightguard can be created using impressions taken of your mouth. Crafted with comfort and effectiveness in mind, when worn properly, it can minimize enamel erosion and jaw pain caused by teeth grinding and clenching as well as mild to moderate TMJ.
Athletic Mouthguards
If it’s sports you love to play, we can equip you with another layer of protection – an athletic mouthguard. When worn during a game, you can trust that your teeth will remain safeguarded against excessive pressure, lowering your risk of an orthodontic emergency.
