Custom Retainers After Orthodontics
Retainers are essential after orthodontic treatment to keep your teeth from shifting out of place. At MYsmile Dental, we provide both removable and fixed retainers based on your individual needs following Invisalign®, 6-Month Smiles, or clear aligner therapy.
We offer:
- Clear removable retainers (Essix)
- Wire-bonded fixed retainers
- Vivera® retainers for Invisalign® patients
- Night-time retainers for long-term retention
Retainers are custom-fit from digital scans to ensure optimal comfort and longevity. If you've lost or damaged your current retainer, we also offer retainer repair and replacement.

Retainer Repair & Replacement
Lost your retainer or noticed it no longer fits properly? MYsmile Dental provides quick, affordable retainer repair and replacement services.
We can help with:
- Cracked or broken retainers
- Worn-down or ill-fitting trays
- Replacing lost or discarded retainers
Keeping your retainer in good shape is essential to protecting the investment you’ve made in your smile. We can usually re-scan and fabricate a new one in a single appointment using digital technology.
Occlusal Guards for Teeth Grinding
Also known as night guards or bite splints, occlusal guards protect your teeth from damage caused by bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching). If you wake up with headaches, sore jaw muscles, or signs of enamel wear, an occlusal guard may be the solution.
Benefits of our custom-fit occlusal guards:
- Protect teeth from wear and fracture
- Reduce strain on TMJ joints
- Improve sleep quality by relaxing jaw muscles
- Custom-molded for comfort and durability
We use digital impressions to design night guards that fit securely and comfortably—far more effective than over-the-counter options.
Sports Mouthguards for Athletes
For patients involved in contact sports, we provide custom athletic mouthguards to reduce the risk of dental injury. These mouthguards are ideal for children, teens, and adult athletes who play sports such as hockey, football, basketball, or martial arts.
Why choose a custom-fit mouthguard over store-bought?
- Better fit means better protection
- More breathable and comfortable
- Won’t dislodge during play
- Can reduce risk of concussion and jaw trauma
Pairing orthodontics with sports? Our clear aligners not only straighten your smile but can also help protect your teeth while you play—so you don’t have to choose between treatment and protection.
Do I Need a Retainer or Guard?
You may benefit from retainers or mouthguards if:
- You’ve completed Invisalign® or clear aligners.
- You wake up with jaw pain or tension headaches
- You’ve noticed wear, chips, or cracks on your teeth
- You play contact or high-impact sports
- You’ve lost or damaged your current retainer or night guard
Dr. Kamel will assess your needs during a consultation and help determine the right solution.
