RETAINER(Discontinued)

Introduction to Retainers

Retainers are essential dental devices used primarily after orthodontic treatments, helping to maintain teeth in their new, corrected positions. They come in various types, each designed to address specific needs and ensure lasting results.

Types of Retainers

There are typically three main types of retainers: Hawley, clear plastic, and fixed or bonded retainers. Hawley retainers are adjustable and durable, clear retainers are nearly invisible and popular for their aesthetics, while fixed retainers remain attached to the teeth for consistent alignment.

Usage and Maintenance

Proper usage and maintenance of retainers are crucial. It’s important to clean them regularly and follow your orthodontist’s instructions to avoid complications, ensuring the long-lasting health and alignment of your teeth.
