Dr. Nelson Hersh and Dr. Marsha Beciaie Licensed Specialists for Children & Adults West Bloomfield Commerce Township 248.926.4100 Waterford 248-673-4100 While the experience of orthodontists across the country points to a permanent improvement rate of 90 percent or greater, the long term success of treatment may be jeopardized by failure to wear the retainers as directed. This usually removable appliance is used to stabilize the teeth in their proper positions following treatment. Wearing a retainer faithfully is simply the final step that patients must make in their commitment to their treatment. Just as they vowed to refrain from eating certain foods that compromise the health of their teeth and braces, and just as they made the effort to diligently clean their teeth, patients must make every effort to wear retainers. Doing so should be made simpler by the fact that the end result is in sight. The removal of the braces does not signal the final stage of treatment and should not be cause to let one's guard down. The importance of retainers can be illustrated by the following example. During treatmen the teeth are constantly moving and when the braces are removed, the retainers serve as the 'brakes' to tell the teeth that the movement is done and they should set and hold in position. The longer they are held in theie positions, the more stable Pe are. Different- kina o retainers are f tn' sr rent reasons all t e decision is usually made depending upon the patient's needs and personal desires. If a particular design or style retainer is preferred this can be discussed with the orthodontist and a mutually successful retainer can be utilized. Retainers can range form different colors with designs and decals to invisible. Our state-of-the-art orthodontic West Bloomfield/Commerce Township. 2300 Haggerty Road, Suite 1160 248-926-4100.
