When it comes to long-term smile care, choosing the right type of retainer is crucial. Patients often ask which option will provide the best results and support lasting oral health. At Advanced Dental Care of Twin Falls, we consistently recommend clear Invisalign retainers over traditional permanent metal ones. With modern advancements in clear aligner technology, it’s now easier than ever to maintain a clean, healthy, and beautiful smile without the downsides of fixed retainers.
As a Platinum Invisalign Provider for 2024 and a 5-star rated dental practice on Google, Advanced Dental Care of Twin Falls is proud to help patients across Idaho and Nevada achieve stunning results. Our providers, including Dr. Brian Rencher, a recently inducted Fellow of the American Academy of Clear Aligners, led the way in clear aligner therapy.
In this blog, we’ll explore the clear advantages of removable Invisalign retainers, how they promote better oral hygiene, and why Dr. Brian Rencher prefers them for long-term care. Whether you’re from Jerome, Pocatello, or Elko, discover how Invisalign can simplify your smile journey and help you maintain it effortlessly.
The Case for Clear Invisalign Retainers
Unlike permanent metal retainers, clear Invisalign retainers are discreet, removable, and easy to clean. This gives them an edge in both comfort and hygiene. As Dr. Brian Rencher explains, many patients struggle to clean around metal retainers, which can trap food and bacteria along the gumline. In contrast, clear retainers can be taken out, cleaned thoroughly, and popped back in within minutes.
At Advanced Dental Care of Twin Falls, our team prefers using Invisalign retainers as part of a broader plan for maintaining excellent oral health. We still offer permanent metal retainers when necessary, but our emphasis remains on clear aligners due to their hygiene-friendly nature and patient satisfaction rates.
Why Oral Hygiene Is Easier With Invisalign
If you’ve ever tried flossing around a permanent metal retainer, you know it can be a challenge. Floss threaders, awkward angles, and limited access all increase the chances of plaque buildup, cavities, and gum inflammation.
Clear Invisalign retainers eliminate this struggle. Since they’re removable, you can brush and floss your teeth as usual. You also have full access to every surface of your teeth, making it much easier to maintain a healthy smile. Dr. Brian Rencher shares oral hygiene tips that help patients maximize these benefits, and our clinical team provides personalized guidance during your checkups.
Learn the Pros of Invisalign Retainers With Dr. Brian Rencher
At Advanced Dental Care of Twin Falls, we go beyond the basics of Invisalign. Under the mentorship of Dr. Rencher and with support from Dr. Galler’s patented treatment approach, we take clear aligner therapy to the next level.
One of the key aspects of our protocol is allowing patients to eat with their trays in. This unique practice, developed through advanced mentorship, supports better compliance and faster results. Additionally, we have our patients change their aligners every 4 days, unlike most offices that follow a 7-14 day cycle. This accelerates treatment timelines, often delivering stunning results in 6–9 months.
Discover Why Dr. Brian Rencher Prefers Clear Retainers
As a leader in clear aligner therapy, Dr. Brian Rencher believes that Invisalign retainers offer superior long-term benefits for patients. Besides better hygiene, the clear design makes them nearly invisible, so you can smile confidently during and after treatment.
Dr. Rencher also emphasizes convenience. With virtual check-ups through the Invisalign app, patients can stay on track without the hassle of monthly office visits. This is especially helpful for those living in Boise, Hailey, or even across the border in Elko, Nevada. All it takes is a selfie. Our team will either confirm your progress via text or request an in-person visit if needed.
Taking Advantage of Virtual Check-Ups
We’re proud to be one of the few practices in Idaho offering remote monitoring through the Invisalign app. It’s as simple as uploading a photo of your smile from home. This allows us to monitor your progress and provide timely feedback without interrupting your busy schedule.
Not only does this make your treatment more efficient, but it also means fewer trips to the office for our patients in areas like Chubbuck, Mountain Home, and Nampa. Get directions to our clinic here.
Removable Retainers Lead to Better Long-Term Outcomes
Retainer compliance is critical after Invisalign treatment. When patients can easily clean and wear their retainers without discomfort or embarrassment, they’re more likely to stick with their plan and keep their smile aligned for life.
Permanent metal retainers, while effective in some cases, can be difficult to manage over time. Their fixed nature may lead to hygiene issues and eventual decay if not cleaned thoroughly. That’s why Dr. Rencher and our team recommend removable Invisalign retainers as the preferred post-treatment solution.
