preserving Your new smile with retainers
Congratulations on getting your braces off! Seeing your new smile is exciting and you should feel proud of your accomplishment. It is important to understand that you must protect your hard work and investment. Teeth tend to shift naturally as you age unless they are properly maintained with wearing orthodontic retainers. Dr. Rucker will select the best type of retainers for you and give instructions on proper wear so that your new smile will last a lifetime.
Retainer Wear & Cleaning Instructions
- Wear your retainers full-time, day and night, until Dr. Rucker instructs otherwise
- Brush your retainers at least once daily with a toothbrush and warm water
- NEVER put your retainers in hot or boiling water
- When retainers are not in your mouth they should always be in a retainer case
- It's best to rinse your retainers with water before storing them in a case
- Retainers are most commonly thrown away by mistake during lunch or eaten by pets
- Retainers are breakable and may be costly to replace, so treat them with care
- Never try to adjust your retainers yourself as this will likely cause permanent damage
- With proper wear and maintenance your retainers should last years
- Call us immediately if you lose or break your retainers
- Always remember to bring your retainers to your appointments
- Soak your retainers in a 50:50 solution of distilled vinegar and warm water for 15-20 minutes at least once per month
*Do NOT boil - Do NOT use hot water - Do NOT place in dishwasher
Retainer Cleaning Tablets
Many patients ask if there is something else they can do to keep their retainers clean and odor free. If you are looking for a product to help keep your retainers as fresh as the day you got them, Dr. Rucker recommends using a retainer cleaning tablet. Retainer Brite is a retainer cleaning tablet that effectively kills bacteria known to cause bad breath and helps keep your retainers tartar and odor free.

Dr Rucker is an amazing orthodontist and his team is the simply the best. Doctor is using his Damon Braces to give me the beautiful smile I have always dreamed about. He is also using his 3D scanner to measure my airway and offer me non-surgical treatment to improve my breathing. I am so grateful to have found this practice !

Dr Rucker - you were a Godsend for my daughter Lindsey King (Haggard). She had an under-bite that had several specialists say she needed her jaw broken and a plate put in. Call it a mom’s intuition I waited it out for several several years thanking and praying and hoping technology would change. When my daughter’s teeth started to shift and change around 23, again after already having braces I felt it was time to dig in and start looking for an alternative. I found you online when I was researching under-bite technology alternatives and orthos specialized. You were the first to come up. The day she walked in there to your facility and met with you we all had hope. It was the date that changed her life forever. The Damon treatment was right in line with what she needed and I remember you telling her that it is a good thing she did not have her jaw broken because it would’ve misaligned her face and more than likely she would had to of had additional jaw surgery. Half way through her treatment she got very ill and had to leave with us as her dad and I were moving to Tennessee. After several months of healing for her body - we were fortunate enough to find a doctor just like you out here (in fact what is so funny he almost looks like you LOL 😊) that could finish her treatment. AnyWho she finally got her braces off last week and has changed so much. When you were treating her she came into a young woman with jaw and dental issues along with weight issues due to a chronic health condition. Now - she’s 170 pounds lighter and a smile that is brilliant!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! You and your team were instrumental helping my daughter regain a beautiful smile and self-confidence I owe you the world!

Everyone at Rucker Orthodontics was amazing throughout the entire process. Super friendly, knowledgable and professional. The office is also beautifully decorated and super clean. They all were great at making my daughter feel comfortable and made every visit fun for her. She has the most amazing beautiful smile now and can't stop showing it off now! Thanks team! I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to straighten their teeth and improve their smile. I will be back with my younger daughter before long.

Dr. Rucker is the man! Every visit to his office is an enjoyable experience, and the other members of staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgable.

AMAZED ! I was a firm believer that my 9 year old was too young for braces, boy I was WRONG! In one month my daughter's Gaps on her two front teeth are closed! teeth have made room for others but the shifting the teeth are doing on Dr. Ruckers Techniques is AMAZING! He has educated me on braces and he must love what he does because he never drops his smile, especially his AMAZING staff Sarah and Lauren (techs) their happiness when you come to their office is Contagious. I will forever refer people to Dr Ruckers office not only for his Suburb Techniques but his knowledgeable staff, and their patience, thank from the bottom of my heart Sarah n Lauren ,and all staff!!!!

I have had all sorts of orthodontic work since I was 8. I used to go to an ortho that wasn’t very kind and I was never comfortable there. I switched to Dr. Rucker In 2017 and it was a whole different story. The crew there are very nice and treat you as real people instead of just a patient. My teeth look amazing because of Rucker and I couldn’t recommend them any more. 5/5 from me.

Hands down, the BEST orthodontist office that is in existence. My son's braces were just removed last week! From the initial consultation to getting his retainer, Dr. Rucker and his staff have been nothing but kind and charismatic. The staff members are always so friendly and you can truly sense that they love what they do. The office is very clean and modern. The staff will provide you with treatment updates throughout the process. My younger son will be ready for braces very soon. I will definitely have Dr. Rucker and his team take care of him as well. Thank you Dr. Rucker and staff for all you do and doing it with a smile and positive attitude. You guys rock!

Every single person went above and beyond to ensure we were all cared for and would make it in time to our next appointment for the day. My daughter's were able to get same day braces and are so excited they are one step closer to a beautiful smile. Thank you!

My daughter had a very complex ortho issue. (Severe underbite and cross bites on both sides) When we first visted Dr. Rucker, we were desperate to find someone that could help her without using an expander. The treatment plan we discussed put my mind at ease. We have had a wonderful experience with everyone in this office. My daughter got her braces off a couple days ago, and we are in complete amazement at how beautiful her teeth are. Her bite is perfect! I love this office so much that my second child just got her braces put on. After seeing what Dr Rucker has done for my oldest child, I would never trust anyone else. He is amazing!

Dr. Rucker is amazing!! My sister recommended him so I brought my son to him who was not an easy case but all is going very very well. In addition, my daughter had braces when she was 11 from a different ortho but didn't wear her retainer so Dr. Rucker recommended Invisalign at 19 and she is now a current client and we are all very pleased. Fantastic fun staff with beach vibe and beautiful decor.

The best – it sums it all! This was a great experience and the best service we could get. The moment we entered the amazing, clean, calm office and were greeted by the smile, it made us feel comfortable and at ease. Such a change from the previous orthodontist we went to. Our first consultation at Rucker went great and we made an appointment for the very next day. I expected the price would be much higher than what we were given by the orthodontist we went before, but no! My 7year old son had braces the next day. With the previous orthodontist and their old technique it would take 3 appointments and a month. And now, a little bit over a month, we see such an enormous change and movements of my son’s teeth that I’m positively shocked! I would recommend Rucker team always and to everybody. The process of putting braces was so smooth, my son didn’t even blink. And now, 40 days later, no breakage, no issues, he doesn't complain at all. And his teeth look amazing already.

From the front office staff, to the technicians, hygienists, and Dr. Rucker himself, we felt completely at ease with the care that we received. Everyone was very conscientious to make sure that we were fully informed about every aspect of the process, and we would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Rucker to family and friends.

Dr. Rucker’s character is seen throughout his practice and staff. Today my daughter had Dameon braces put on and I overheard him complimenting his technician, telling her she will do great anywhere she applies herself, and that he loved the pictures she took. It’s such a comfort to be in an office where the staff and doctor are happy. The office is as beautiful as the smiles Dr. Rucker creates and my kids love him! He is sharp and knows his “stuff!” My son has all kinds of problems going on but Dr. Rucker takes one problem at a time and is very conservative in how and when he treats them. Over this last year, we have seen such a big difference in my sons smile and confidence and can’t wait to see the end result with both of my kiddos. I look forward to becoming an Invisalign patient soon!! I’m so thankful we found this place and I know my kids are in great hands!

Dr. Rucker is truly the best in the business! His staff is always so nice and everyone is right on schedule unlike other offices. They see you on your appt time and get you out quick too. Rosie has been not only apart of my sons journey with braces but mine as well. She’s the best when it comes to anything the doctor doesn’t do. She has the best bedside manner along with being accurate on anything she has to touch. If you’re looking for a great, professional, best results without pain and most importantly treated as you matter not a number. Rucker Ortho supersedes all excpections!

I was referred to Dr. Rucker by a friend who's daughter had braces and she was happy with her daughters results. My son's consult was 2 years ago. He had his braces on to straighten a couple of teeth no major work was needed. About 16mo later I can't get him to stop smiling. The office staff is so pleasant, at the most we had a 5-7 min wait to be seen and have his adjustments done. Back office staff always made my son feel welcome and I never felt like a hovering parent! We were there through the construction expansion of his office and there was never any inconvenience. His office is clean, bright, and modern. For younger kids or siblings they have a waiting room with tablets to play on. I would strongly recommend Rucker Orthodontics.

The office is gorgeous and all the employees are so friendly. My daughter got her braces on today and they walked us through every step and made sure we had all our questions answered. The hygienists were so sweet. We are thrilled we chose Dr Rucker and his staff for our orthodontist needs.

I work in the customer service/ business world so giving and receiving great service is a must for me. I have to say that Dr. Rucker and his staff exceeded my expectations from the moment we first walked in their door. 🙂 And bonus my son has an absolutely great smile! I was unaware of the Damon Method prior to our first visit to Rucker Orthodontics and was very impressed with the process. Do your research it will be worth the extra time. Thank you Dr. Rucker, Rosie and the rest of the team.

I have never had a bad experience at this orthodontist! Everyone working was always very kind and helped me if I needed anything. Braces helped my teeth tremendously and Dr. Rucker made them beautiful! 10/10 would recommend.

If you must get braces this is the place to do it! I have 4 children, all of whom require orthodontics. I found Dr. Rucker after my first 2 children had already gone through both surgery and braces to fix their bites. When it was time for my younger 2 to do the same thing I wanted to look around again and see if there was anyone who thought that they could avoid surgery and Dr. Rucker was the only one who said he could do it. Well a year and a half later my 3rd daughters bite is fixed without surgery and my 4th daughter just started treatment. I just wish I would have found him sooner! Dr. Rucker really is very knowledgable and up to date on the most current and effective treatment options. Also, the office staff is wonderful; nobody wastes your time but they also never rush you - it is really the perfect balance for a busy mom. I really couldn't be happier with my experience.

We loved our experience at Rucker Orthodontics! I’ve had now 2 kids go through the whole process and it was seamless. The office is beautiful and welcoming, the office staff members are kind, friendly and personable. Our wait times were minimal and check in was super easy. Each visit was short and quick allowing us to feel like we could make visits even during school hours. If my kids had brackets coming off or pokey wires as the teeth moved into place, we were able to get in quickly to make those adjustments. Dr. Rucker makes the kids feel comfortable and establishes a relationship with them allowing them to be at ease at their visits. Because he uses the Damon method, many visits are as easy as switching a wire. That method I feel appears to be the most efficient and the least painful. The office also has updated technology when it comes to recommending a treatment plan, taking xrays, and making molds for retainers. I recommend Rucker Orthodontics to anyone seeking a straight beautiful smile for themselves or their kids!

Dr. Rucker and his staff are amazing. We had several opinions for our sons final phase due to a bad experience with our first phase of treatment at another local office. Rucker Orthodontics is beautifully designed and impressive as soon as you walk through the door. The staff is friendly, patient and kind from the initial phone call to make an appointment and throughout the entire experience. Our family was a little anxious starting treatment and Dr. Rucker was nothing short of awesome making sure to make this phase a pleasant experience for all of us. He's fun for the kids and was patient and sure to answer all of my millions of questions before starting treatment. Our sons case is a bit more complicated than most, and after a few scary opinions elsewhere suggesting very invasive (outdated) methods for correction, Dr. Rucker came in with a newer, less invasive approach that will keep him comfortable while giving our boy the beautiful smile and confidence he deserves!

For Rucker Ortho 5 stars is an understatement. The amazing group of people there are very respectful, knowledgeable and take pride in what they do. They treat you like family. I came in because my smile played a huge part in my confidence. I used to cover my mouth when I laughed etc. I was nervous at first but Rucker Ortho is a very comfortable place to be. I had the damon braces for about a year and a half and best believe I do not cover my mouth anymore! I appreciate everything they have done for me and can't thank them enough. Nothing negative to say here! Thanks again to all of you there at Rucker Orthodontics. You guys truly make a difference.

Amazing people and office. Classy operation. Dr. Rucker and his entire team are very friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Using state-of-the-art equipment he prescribes an extremely detailed plan to achieve each patient’s most beautiful smile. You are able to see what your results will look like before you even begin treatment. Very helpful to teenagers who are about to make a commitment to braces or Invisalign. My daughter is thrilled to begin treatment, knowing what she has to look forward to after completion. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND Rucker Orthodontics to anyone who needs braces/Invisalign. We’re very thankful to have found them! Thank you so much for your help and encouragement!

I wish we could give more than 5 stars! Our daughter was TERRIFIED to get braces on. She was crying, shaking, and resistant to going back to the chairs. But Sarah was amazing! Her patience and positivity (and did I mention patience?) helped my daughter get comfortable and calm down so that they were able to get it done. Dr. Rucker was so great with her, too! Definitely an amazing team, and my daughter is a very satisfied customer. I just heard her say to herself, "These braces are awesome!"

Dr Rucker is indeed a professional and he’s “great with children!” His staff extends excellent PR, transparency, open communication and provides an enjoyable atmosphere to everyone that walks through their doors. Whether it’s a consultation, scheduling an appointment or sitting with Dr Rucker the entire staff is just amazing. When it was time to look into getting my daughter braces, Dr Rucker was highly recommended as the Orthodontist to meet our families’ needs. I’m extremely impressed with my daughter’s incredible transformation in just a short time and with that my son is now with Rucker Orthopedics for braces. From my family to theirs...”Thank you Rucker Orthodontics” for being that perfect partnership during this phase with my children.

Our family chose to return to Dr. Rucker and his staff now that our second child is ready for treatment. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful and our first visit went great. The team was able to start treatment on the same day, which is very helpful for busy families like ours. The staff worked very well together as a team, making our transition from assessment to treatment seamless. The best part was that everyone who was in contact with my son was deliberate in communicating with him at each step of getting his braces placed. I was pleased to see that it was important to them that my son be an active participant in his treatment.

Great atomosphere. The staff is always upbeat and happy. We didn't know much about braces when we started out, but after some research, and meeting with Dr.Rucker, we deciced to go with Dr.Rucker and Damon Braces. Mainly because we really liked Dr.Rucker and his staff and we understood that with the Damon system there would be less pain and discomfort with fewer visits needed. We told Dr.Rucker we wanted a natural smile, we didn't want to completely transform her teeth, we just wanted to fix the wonky ones and get them to where they were supposed be naturally. Dr.Rucker listened to what we were wanting to achieve, told us it would take about a year and half, and now my daughters teeth looks like she never wore braces. Her teeth are perfectly perfect for HER, and that's what was important to us.

They have the best staff! We specifically picked Dr. Rucker because of his knowledge. If you want old school Orthodontics with medieval appliances, then this is not the place for you. He is the only one that was willing to help my daughter without the torcherous devices that other orthodontists recommended and I wasn't willing to put her thru that unnecessarily. We now have 3 of our daughter's seeing him. Dr. Rucker and all of his staff are amazing and super friendly! We couldn't be happier. 😊

I researched and visited a few offices including Dr. Rucker’s in my search for a good orthodontist. When I walked into Dr. Rucker’s office, I was really impressed with the ease of check-in and the environment itself. The office is state of the art with contemporary decor that is cool, yet warm and inviting. The whole office team, from front desk to back office were welcoming and provided great service. Everyone has a smile on their face 😊, including the patients. Dr. Rucker put my mind at ease and after speaking to him and meeting with Airian, I was confident in putting my daughters smile in his hands. I don’t think I can ask for more in an orthodontist. My daughter is happy with the choice as well. With every visit, she goes in and out with a smile. She especially likes that she can check herself in, via the touch screen pad. I appreciate the time spent with me to explain the process thoroughly and also the payment program options. Most of all, I love that they offer the Damon braces. I’ve researched this particular orthodontia treatment and I’m relieved that Dr. Rucker uses them on his patients, my daughter being one of them. I look forward to seeing my daughter’s improved smile after her treatment and I’m especially fortunate to have found an excellent doctor and great office to work with. The team is wonderful, thank you Kailey!
