Retainers are essential dental appliances used to maintain the alignment of your teeth after orthodontic treatment. They ensure that your teeth remain in their new positions, preventing them from shifting back.
Failure to wear your retainer, even for a brief period, may lead to the shifting of your teeth. If your teeth shift significantly, it can result in an ill-fitting retainer and you will need a new retainer. If you are experiencing any problems with your retainer, please contact our friendly team.
A retainer is a removable or fixed dental appliance used to maintain the position of teeth after orthodontic treatment. It helps prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
Initially, full-time wear (day and night) is typically required, followed by night time wear as long as recommended.
Failure to wear retainers as prescribed can result in teeth shifting back to their original positions. This may require additional orthodontic treatment to correct the changes, which can be costly and time-consuming.
It’s recommended to remove retainers when eating or drinking anything other than water. Always store retainers in their case during meals.
