What are Retainers?

Retainers are custom-designed dental devices that maintain the corrected position of teeth after orthodontic treatment. They help prevent teeth from shifting back to their original alignment.

What are the Different Types of Retainers?

Removable retainers are easily taken out for eating, brushing, and special occasions. They’re typically made of clear plastic material. Your child may be advised to wear retainers full-time for the first months, with subsequent wear time reduced to night-time only.

 

Fixed retainers, also known as permanent retainers, are thin, stainless-steel wire attached to the back of the teeth with dental cement. They’re invisible from the front and properly hold in place to reduce the chance of an orthodontic relapse.
