LOOKING FOR A CLEAR ORTHODONTIC RETAINER? HERE IT IS
If you’ve completed orthodontic treatment, you’ll know that wearing a retainer is essential to keeping your teeth in their new position.
Teeth have a natural tendency to shift over time, which is why wearing a retainer is essential.
Without one, your straightened teeth could gradually move back, undoing the results you worked so hard to achieve.
But not all retainers are the same. While they all serve the same purpose, the materials and design can vary significantly, affecting their durability, comfort, and effectiveness.
Why are retainers needed after orthodontic treatment?
After orthodontic treatment, your teeth are in a new position, but the supporting bone and gums need time to adjust. Without retention, teeth can start to shift.
This is why retainers are crucial. They keep your teeth in place while the surrounding tissues stabilise.
For the first few months, you’ll likely need to wear your retainer all day, only removing it to eat or brush your teeth.
After that, you may switch to wearing it at night, depending on your dentist's recommendations. The longer you wear the retainer, the better chance you have of ensuring your teeth stay in place.
What types of retainers are there?
There are different types of retainers available, each offering unique advantages. The most common types include:
Fixed retainers
These are small wires that are bonded to the back of your teeth, usually the lower teeth. They remain in place permanently, offering long-term retention without the need for you to remember to wear them. However, fixed retainers are less discreet and can be difficult to clean.
Removable retainers
These can be taken out when needed for eating and cleaning. They typically come in two main designs:
• Clear retainers: Made of a transparent material that fits snugly over the teeth
• Wire & acrylic retainers: Consisting of a wire to hold teeth in place, combined with an acrylic plate
Benefits of clear orthodontic retainers
Clear orthodontic retainers are one of the most popular choices for post-treatment retention.
Made from a strong yet flexible plastic, these retainers are custom-made to fit the shape of your teeth precisely, ensuring a snug fit.
Clear retainers are also much more discreet than their wire counterparts, as the material is nearly invisible when worn.
This makes them a great option for people who want to maintain their orthodontic results without drawing attention.
