What Are Dental Retainers For?
After completing a corrective dental treatment like braces, patients want to keep their beautiful new smile aligned and healthy. However, your teeth will naturally shift back to their original positions once the braces are removed. That’s where retainers come in.
These orthodontic retention devices help you maintain your new smile, holding your teeth in place to prevent shifting and other alignment changes. In addition to maintaining your straight smile, retainers can close gaps, prevent tongue thrusts and more. They come in various styles, including fixed and removable options, to ensure you find the right fit for your orthodontic needs.
How to Care for Your Retainer
Whatever type of retainer you have, ensure you take care of it so that your smile stays beautiful for years to come. If you have a removable retainer, clean it regularly — such as every time you take it out of your mouth. When you take your device out to eat, store it in a case to avoid misplacing or damaging it.
Maintaining proper oral hygiene is especially important if you have a fixed retainer. When flossing, take extra care to ensure the wire stays clean and clear.
