Retainer Repair in Hawthorne, CA

Why Retainer Repair Is Important

Even small cracks, bends, or distortions in your retainer can affect its effectiveness. Common issues patients face include:

• Cracked or broken acrylic in Hawley retainers
• Loose or bent wires
• Clear plastic retainers (Essix) becoming warped or cloudy
• Retainers that no longer fit due to wear or missed use

Timely repair helps you avoid relapse, which can undo months or years of orthodontic treatment.

Our Retainer Repair Services

At Schnierow Dental Care, our orthodontic team offers solutions for all types of retainers:

1. Hawley Retainer Repair – We can fix broken wires, adjust the fit, or replace acrylic components.
2. Essix/Clear Retainer Repair – Cracks and warping can often be corrected; if not, we can fabricate a new one quickly.
3. Bonded (Permanent) Retainer Repair – If your fixed retainer detaches, we’ll re-bond it or replace it for continued protection.

In cases where repair isn’t possible, we provide same-day replacement retainers so you don’t lose orthodontic progress.
