Retainers are needed after Orthodontic treatment (Braces or aligners) to maintain and stabilize your smile for life
Teeth naturally tend to move or shift with time, even in people who never had braces or aligners. If you did have orthodontic treatment, your teeth are susceptible to relapse. Relapse occurs when your teeth and bite start to shift back to their previous positions. Orthodontic relapses can occur when patients who have had treatment neglect wearing their retainers. Therefore, it is essential that you wear retainers as instructed by your orthodontist!
Retainers are made to fit each patient’s exact shape and form of their teeth. Depending on the individual case, your orthodontist will recommend permanent or removable retainers, depending on your condition. In some cases, both permanent and removable retainers can be suggested to make sure that your teeth stay in their proper place.
