DID YOU KNOW…
The importance of a quality retainer cannot be overstated!
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE:
After spending many years using a variety of traditional retainers, Dr. Rizkallah found himself frustrated with their different weaknesses (easily broken, poor speech, poor hygiene, too passive, too visible, can’t be used as a night guard). Traditional retainers were harming his patients. He needed something else to accomplish his retainer goals…..something else to protect his work.
Utilizing his unusual degree in Orthodontic Biomaterials, Dr. Rizkallah designed and trademarked a retainer that solved the problems seen with other retainers. While this retainer was superior to other retainers in many ways, it’s most impressive aspect was its ability to re-straighten teeth if the retainers were not worn enough (an unheard of property). It was named for this unique “forgiving” property……The “Forgiver Retainer.”
The “Forgiver Retainer” has been serving our patients for over a decade. We love them. Our patients love them.
The “Forgiver Retainer” is one of the main keys of our long-term treatment success. After all, getting teeth perfect is a 6 to 12 month service. Keeping them perfect is a life-long service. The first service is not enough.
