Fixed Wire Retainers in NYC | Long-Term Smile Protection

After months or even years of orthodontic treatment, the last thing you want is for your teeth to shift back. At 65 Broadway Dental in NYC, we offer fixed wire retainers—a discreet, reliable way to preserve your beautifully aligned smile.

Unlike removable retainers, a fixed wire retainer is a thin metal wire that is bonded to the back of your teeth, typically behind the upper or lower front teeth. This wire holds your teeth in place 24/7 without affecting your appearance or speech. Whether you’ve completed treatment with metal braces, ceramic braces, or clear aligners, this retainer ensures your results last for years to come.

Why Choose a Fixed Wire Retainer at 65 Broadway Dental?

Choosing a fixed retainer means choosing stability. At our Manhattan office, we design and place each retainer with precision, ensuring comfort, functionality, and longevity.

Here’s why patients love fixed wire retainers:

• Permanent, Hassle-Free Retention

  A fixed retainer stays bonded behind your teeth, so you don’t have to worry about remembering to wear or misplacing a removable appliance.

• Discreet & Comfortable

  The wire is placed on the inside surface of your teeth, so it’s completely invisible when you talk or smile. After a short adjustment period, most patients forget it’s even there.

• Preserves Your Orthodontic Investment

  Fixed retainers are especially helpful for patients who are prone to orthodontic relapse or shifting after braces or Invisalign.

• Low Maintenance

  With proper brushing, flossing (with a floss threader or water flosser), and regular dental checkups, fixed retainers are easy to keep clean and effective for years.

• Ideal for Busy NYC Lifestyles

  Since it stays in place, you don’t have to build a routine around wearing it or worry about forgetting it during travel, work, or events.

What Causes Wisdom Tooth Complications?

Wisdom teeth often cause issues when they don’t erupt properly. Common reasons include:

• 

  Impaction: Teeth trapped in the gum or bone, causing pain, swelling, or crowding.

• 

  Nerve Proximity: Teeth near nerves increase the risk of standard extraction complications.

• 

  Infections: Impacted teeth can lead to gum infections or decay in nearby teeth.

• 

  Crowding: Lack of space causes misalignment or pressure on other teeth.

Symptoms like jaw pain, swelling, or difficulty chewing may indicate a problem. Coronectomy at 65 Broadway Dental safely addresses these issues, protecting your nerves and relieving discomfort.

Is Coronectomy Right for You?

You may be a good candidate for coronectomy if you:

• 

  Have impacted wisdom teeth near nerves.

• 

  Experience pain, swelling, or infection from wisdom teeth.

• 

  Want to avoid nerve damage risks from full extraction?

• 

  Seek a minimally invasive, quick-recovery procedure.

• 

  Have healthy gums and no active infections.

Coronectomy may not suit non-impacted teeth or certain cases. Our free consultation with CT imaging will ensure the best approach for your needs.

How Coronectomy Works?

Our coronectomy process is precise and gentle, typically completed in one visit:

• 1. Wisdom Tooth Assessment

  We use 3D CT scans to evaluate the tooth’s position and nerve proximity, creating a tailored, safe plan.

• 2. Crown Removal Procedure

  Under anesthesia, we remove the tooth’s crown, leaving roots intact to avoid nerve damage, ensuring comfort.

• 3. Healing & Monitoring

  We provide aftercare instructions for quick healing and monitor the roots to ensure long-term health.

Transparent Retainers in NYC | Invisible Protection for Your Smile

You’ve completed your orthodontic journey; now it’s time to protect your investment. At 65 Broadway Dental in NYC, we offer transparent retainers that are custom-made to preserve your beautifully aligned teeth.

Also known as clear retainers or Essix retainers, these appliances are made of durable, medical-grade plastic and are molded to fit snugly over your teeth. They’re completely removable, easy to wear, and virtually invisible, making them a favorite choice for patients who want discreet, reliable retention after braces or clear aligner treatment.

Why Choose a Transparent Retainer at 65 Broadway Dental?

Clear retainers are an essential part of maintaining your new smile. Our expert team crafts each retainer for a perfect fit and long-lasting comfort.

Here’s why patients across NYC choose our transparent retainers:

• Clear & Nearly Invisible

  Made from transparent plastic, your retainer is virtually undetectable when worn. You can smile, speak, and go about your day with total confidence.

• Preserves Orthodontic Results

  Transparent retainers help keep your teeth in place after braces or Invisalign. Without proper retention, teeth can slowly shift out of alignment—these retainers keep your results intact.

• Comfortable & Removable

  Unlike permanent retainers, clear retainers can be taken out when eating, drinking, or brushing. They’re lightweight, smooth, and comfortable to wear day or night.

• Custom-Fit for Precision

  Each retainer is designed from a detailed scan of your teeth using our 3D imaging technology. This ensures a snug, effective fit that supports long-term alignment.

• Easy Maintenance

  They’re simple to clean and easy to care for—just rinse, brush gently, and store in their protective case when not in use.

What Is a Transparent Retainer Used For?

Clear retainers serve a vital purpose in the final stage of orthodontic care. Once active tooth movement is complete, your retainer:

• 

  Holds your teeth in their new positions

• 

  Prevents natural shifting due to muscle memory or bite pressure

• 

  Helps preserve cosmetic and functional alignment

• 

  Can be used as a nightguard to protect against grinding

Even after years of braces or aligners, your teeth can gradually move without regular retainer use. A transparent retainer offers an easy way to keep your hard-earned smile intact.

Is a Transparent Retainer Right for You?

This type of retainer is ideal for:

• 

  Patients finishing orthodontic treatment (braces or Invisalign)

• 

  Teens or adults seeking a discreet retention option

• 

  Those looking for a removable alternative to bonded wires

• 

  People with good oral hygiene habits and compliance

If you’re someone who tends to forget retainers, or if you’ve experienced a relapse in the past, we may also recommend additional support like a fixed retainer for dual protection.
