Brendel’s Story: Committing to Confidence
Brendel believes in setting an example through action, and that includes self-care. Years after completing orthodontic treatment twice before, she noticed her teeth had shifted because she hadn’t been consistent about wearing her retainer.

What makes her third orthodontic experience a success isn’t just the treatment, it’s her confidence, commitment, and commitment.

Why Retainers Matter After Braces
- Teeth naturally shift over time: Without a retainer, they can slowly move back toward their original positions.
- Retention locks in results: Wearing your retainer as directed maintains your new alignment and bite.
- Prevents repeating treatment: Consistent use protects your investment in time, care, and cost.
- Easy maintenance, lasting payoff: Retainers are simple to clean and wear but make a lifelong difference.
- Swihart Orthodontics provides follow-up care: The team ensures each patient’s smile stays just as beautiful as the day treatment ends.
