Retainers are a very integral segment in orthodontic
treatment. They are used at the conclusion of the
"braces" portion of orthodontics. When the braces
are removed, the teeth have the ability for
movement, and retainers limit this movement. It is
especially important to wear the retainers
immediately after braces are removed, for at this

time the teeth are most likely to shift.
There are many different kinds of retainers, and
one is decided upon depending upon the individual. There are retainers
that are a removable clear plastic covering to the teeth and are very thin.
These retainers are hardly noticeable. Another type is a small flexible wire
that is attached to the back surface of the teeth, and is not removable.
These make oral hygiene more difficult but are obviously less likely to be
lost.
The most common type of retainer is called a Hawley retainer, which is a
removable acrylic appliance. In our office we have found the kids like this
type the most, as we allow the patient to pick any color, including neon,
incorporate glitter and colored designs. We even have the ability to place a
decal or picture inside the retainer. Kids have phenomenal imaginations
and have had retainers with Pokemon, Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh,
university logos, Nike or Tommy Hilfiger logos, or even pictures of their
pets incorporated in their retainers. We have found when the kids are
included in designing the retainers, they enjoy them more and wearing
them is more fun. Parents appreciate this!
