DURATAIN: THE ULTRA-STRENGTH RETAINER FOR LONG-TERM RETENTION

After months or even years of orthodontic treatment, the last thing any dentist wants is for a patient’s teeth to shift back to their original positions.

Retention is a crucial part of the orthodontic process, ensuring that the hard-earned results from braces or aligners are preserved for the long term.

At S4S Dental Laboratory, we offer Duratain, an ultra-strength retainer designed to provide the durability and comfort necessary to maintain the alignment and integrity of your patients’ smiles.

The importance of dental retention

Retention is crucial for stabilising teeth in their new positions.

The period immediately after appliance removal is particularly critical, as the periodontal ligament (PDL) and alveolar bone are undergoing remodelling.

This is a time when teeth are more susceptible to relapse due to the elastic memory of the PDL fibres, which want the teeth to return to their pre-treatment positions

 Without proper retention, the forces generated from chewing, speaking, and habitual movements like clenching, can lead to unwanted shifts.

Challenges for bruxists

For patients who suffer from bruxism, the constant, involuntary forces exerted during clenching and grinding can apply intense pressure on retainers.

This is especially the case in the posterior regions where forces are greatest.

This often leads to breakage or distortion in traditional retainers, significantly reducing their effectiveness.

Patients with bruxism therefore require a more robust solution to prevent relapse.

Duratain: The ultra-strength solution

Duratain is an ultra-strength retainer made from a robust polyurethane material with a polymer backbone.

This material provides superior durability, allowing it to maintain its shape and functionality under the extreme forces that would cause standard retainers to fail. This makes it the perfect retainer for bruxism.

Key features of Duratain include:

• Optimised strength and ductility
• Stain resistance to maintain its aesthetic clarity over time
• Bespoke design to ensure a precise, comfortable fit for your patients

Duratain offers a perfect blend of durability, precision, and comfort, making it the ideal retainer for patients requiring long-term retention, particularly those with bruxism.

With Duratain, you can provide your patients with a solution that ensures the longevity of their orthodontic results.
