Retainers
At Dental Oasis, we understand the importance of retainers in maintaining the results of orthodontic treatment. Retainers are custom-made appliances designed to hold teeth in their new positions after braces or aligners have been removed. They play a crucial role in preventing teeth from shifting back to their original misaligned state, ensuring that your beautiful smile lasts a lifetime.
Procedure of Retainers
The process of using retainers involves several key steps:
Fitting
The retainer is fitted either by attaching it permanently to the back of your teeth or by providing instructions on how to insert and remove it.
Wearing Schedule
Initially, retainers are worn full-time, gradually transitioning to nighttime wear as instructed by your orthodontist.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper storage are essential to extend the life of your retainer.
Signs You Need Retainers
Retainers are necessary for anyone who has completed orthodontic treatment to maintain the alignment of their teeth. They are particularly important for:
Preventing Relapse
Teeth have a natural tendency to shift back to their original positions if not held in place.
Maintaining Alignment
Retainers ensure that the results of your orthodontic treatment are preserved.
Long-Term Smile Preservation
They help maintain the aesthetic appeal and functionality of your smile over time.
If you have recently finished orthodontic treatment, retainers are essential for maintaining your new smile.
Types of Retainers
There are two primary types of retainers:
Removable Retainers
These are made from clear plastic or acrylic and can be taken out for eating and cleaning. They are ideal for those who prefer flexibility in their retainer use.
Fixed Retainers
Also known as permanent retainers, these are thin wires attached to the back of the teeth. They are suitable for patients who want a hassle-free solution and do not need to worry about removing them.
