Retainers are used to assist in holding the teeth in their new positions. Growth,
skeletal discrepancies and the fact that the mouth is dynamic and always
changing necessitates that retainers be utilized. This serves as insurance that the
teeth are more likel to St' whe e the orthodontist.has ositioned the

Another retainer is a clear plastic covering to the teeth very similar to bleaching
trays. This is not as noticeable but requires care, as they can tend to become
brittle and break. A third retainer type is called a positioner. This looks like a
mouth-guard for sports. It requires the most effort by the patient but also does a
good job in finalizing the positions of the teeth. Lastly, for this discussion, is the
fixed wire retainer that is directly bonded to the backside of the lower front teeth.
This retainer requires the least compliance but oral hygiene may be compromis
Retainers should not be considered the end of orthodontics but a continuing
chapter. We want you to maintain the best possible smile for as long a time as
possible.
