Your orthodontic care doesn’t stop when the aligners come off — clear dental retainers are the key to keeping your smile in place for the long haul. At Shoreline Dental Studio, we offer custom-made, comfortable, and nearly invisible orthodontic retainers for patients in San Clemente and Mission Viejo. Whether you’ve completed Invisalign or traditional braces, our retainers are designed to fit your bite and lifestyle perfectly.
Clear dental retainers work behind the scenes to hold your teeth in their new alignment. After months of movement with clear aligners or braces, your teeth need time and support to settle into position. Without a retainer, they can slowly shift back.
Shoreline Dental Studio offers several types of orthodontic retainers, including:
A popular choice after Invisalign or braces.
Ideal for long-term lower front tooth stability, though they are difficult to clean.
Durable, comfortable, and discreet.
We fabricate most retainers directly in our practice, allowing us to offer faster turnaround times and precise quality control. For patients looking for the best long-term option, Vivera retainers offer an Invisalign-recommended solution with enhanced durability and clarity.
Whether you’re returning to us after cosmetic dentistry or finishing orthodontic care, we’ll guide you through the most reliable retainer solution for your goals and habits.
Orthodontic retainers aren’t just a final step — they’re your smile’s lifelong support system.
“Best dental experience ever! Everyone is so sweet, caring and incredibly knowledgeable and confident. I was super nervous about going to dentist after not having gone for awhile but as soon as stepped into the studio I felt like I was in good, loving hands and had nothing to worry about! Everyone is so great about creating a calm and friendly experience:) Dr. Livingston is the best!”

“It’s a friendly, welcoming and stress free environment. From the candle in the reception area to the windows in the treatment rooms looking out on a garden, it feels very non-dentist like, which is actually a good thing. They addressed the issue I had come in for and didn’t try to upsell me on other unnecessary treatments. I actually found a dentist’s office that I like!”

Most patients wear their clear retainers every night for the first year, then nightly for life to prevent shifting.
We recommend removing your removable retainer during meals to avoid damage and staining.
Contact us right away — we can often replace or re-fit your custom retainer quickly using your existing digital scans.
We can rebond or secure an existing one if it comes loose. If you need a new fixed retainer, we’ll refer you to the right provider. Your dentist will walk you through your best option during your next general dentistry visit.
Retainers are the secret to keeping your smile just the way you love it — for good. From custom clear retainers to long-lasting Vivera solutions, Shoreline Dental Studio has you covered.
