When braces or clear aligners are finally removed, the “retention” phase begins for most individuals. The objective of this phase is to ensure the teeth do not regress to their previous position. A retainer will be used to maintain the improved position of the teeth. A retainer is a fixed or removable dental appliance that has been custom-made by the orthodontist to fit the teeth. Retainers are generally made from transparent plastic and thin wires to optimize patient comfort.
Retainers are worn for varying amounts of time, depending on the type of orthodontic treatment and the age of the patient. Perseverance and commitment are required to make this final stage of treatment successful. If the retainer is not worn as directed, treatment can fail or take much longer than anticipated.
