Orthodontic retainers are custom-made devices designed to hold your teeth in their new positions after braces or Invisalign® treatment. They are an essential part of orthodontic care, preventing teeth from shifting back to their original positions and ensuring the long-term success of your treatment. Retainers can be either fixed or removable, depending on your specific needs.
Types of Orthodontic Retainers
-
Removable Retainers:
- Hawley Retainers: Made of a combination of plastic and metal wires, Hawley retainers are durable and adjustable, allowing for minor modifications as needed.
- Clear Retainers: Also known as Essix retainers, these are made of clear plastic and fit snugly over your teeth, offering a more discreet option.
-
Fixed Retainers:
Bonded Retainers: These retainers consist of a thin wire bonded to the back of your teeth, providing a permanent solution that keeps your teeth in place without the need for daily removal and cleaning.
