Retainers

Preserving Your Perfect Smile
You’ve invested time and effort into achieving that perfect smile with braces, and naturally, you’d want to maintain the results. That’s where retainers come into play. Delve into the essentials of retainers and understand why they’re pivotal post-orthodontic treatment.

Why Retainers?

Retainers are orthodontic devices, custom-designed primarily to maintain the newly achieved alignment of your teeth post orthodontic treatments like braces. They stabilize teeth, prevent potential relapse, and in some cases, aid in jaw growth.

Who Needs Retainers?

Retainers are quintessential for:

  • Individuals who’ve undergone treatment with braces or other orthodontic tools.
  • Patients who’ve reached their desired teeth position and want to avoid unwanted shifting.
  • Individuals who have concluded jaw growth and achieved a stable bite.

Always remember, a personal consultation with an orthodontist will give clarity on the type of retainer you’d require and its duration.

Types of Retainers:

1. Removable Retainers:

Creation

After a consultation, our experts take precise measurements, which our in-house dental laboratory uses to craft a custom-made plated appliance. It's often a combination of plastic with distinct holding elements.

Application & Aftercare

Once your retainer is ready, we guide you on its daily use and essential aftercare.

Check-Ups

We'll schedule periodic check-ups to ensure the retainer fits perfectly and observes the stabilization of the jawbones, gums, and the alignment of your teeth.

Duration

Typically, it's advised to use a retainer for a duration equivalent to how long you wore braces.

2. Fixed Retainers:

Creation

Similar to removable retainers, a consultation and accurate measurements precede the crafting of a custom appliance. These stabilizers are then attached to the inner front teeth.

Application & Aftercare

After pre-treatment, the wire is attached in a way that avoids exerting pressure.

Check-Ups

Periodic check-ups ensure the fixed retainer's position remains optimal, monitoring jawbone and gum stabilization and the preservation of teeth alignment.

Alert

If you feel any pressure or if the retainer loosens, schedule an appointment immediately. It's paramount to ensure its functionality and your comfort.

Visual Guide:

What do retainers look like? These dental appliances, whether removable or fixed, are made of either clear plastic or metal. Depending on their make, they can be easily noticeable or virtually invisible. Think of them as a protective frame for your teeth, safeguarding the alignment and preserving that post-braces smile.
