Will I Need to Wear Retainers After Treatment?: WebDentistry: Home of SmileFinder!

▤ Summary

Changes in tooth position are a lifelong and naturally occurring phenomenon, and to maintain the result created by your orthodontic treatment, retainers must be worn. While small changes after treatment concludes are normal, retainers prevent teeth from going back to their original positions. A fixed retainer consists of a thin, custom-fitted wire that is bonded to the tongue-side of upper or lower teeth. As long as you want to keep your teeth straight, many patients wear retainers nightly for life. Orthodontists are experts in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics - properly aligned teeth and jaws - and possess the skills and experience to give you your best smile.
