Orthodontic Retreatment Near You

Not every orthodontic journey ends the way patients hope. Maybe your teeth shifted after braces. Perhaps you didn't wear your retainer. Or your first round of treatment didn't fully correct your bite or jaw alignment. Whatever the reason, orthodontic retreatment is more common than you might think—and Dr. Dona Seely Orthodontics is here to help you get the results you deserve.

Common Reasons for Retreatment

Relapse Due to Skipped Retainer Use:

Not wearing a retainer as prescribed is one of the most common reasons teeth shift after orthodontic treatment. Retreatment can realign those teeth and set up a better long-term retention plan.

Incomplete Original Treatment:

Some patients weren't fully treated during their first round—due to outdated methods, lack of follow-through, or growth changes that affected results.

Changes Over Time:

Even perfectly aligned teeth can shift due to aging, grinding, or new dental work. Retreatment helps maintain both function and aesthetics.

Your Options for Orthodontic Retreatment

Today's orthodontic solutions are more comfortable and discreet than ever. Dr. Seely offers:

Invisalign®:

A popular option for retreatment, especially for adults, Invisalign aligners can address mild to moderate relapse without metal brackets.

Braces (Clear or Metal):

For more complex cases, braces remain an effective, precise option.

Targeted Retreatment:

Sometimes, only a few teeth need correction. We offer limited treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.

A Personalized, Judgment-Free Dental Experience

We understand that returning for retreatment may feel frustrating or even discouraging—but at Dr. Dona Seely Orthodontics, you'll find a welcoming environment where your goals are our priority. We'll listen carefully, assess your current smile, and explain your best options clearly—without pressure or judgment.
