Retainers in Flagstaff, AZ
Types of Retainers Available at Orthodontics, Inc.
Removable Retainers
Removable retainers include clear and wire options. Clear retainers, or Essix retainers, fit snugly over your teeth and are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for discretion. Wire retainers, like the Hawley retainer, use a metal wire that wraps around your teeth with an acrylic base, allowing for slight adjustments over time.
Clear retainers are comfortable and easy to maintain but may wear down faster. Wire retainers are durable and adjustable but more visible.
Permanent Retainers
Permanent retainers, or fixed retainers, are bonded directly to the back of your teeth, offering long-term stability without daily removal. They continuously support your teeth, making them ideal for those prone to shifting. While they require careful cleaning to avoid plaque buildup, permanent retainers ensure you never forget to wear them.
Why Retainers are Essential
Orthodontic Treatments Needing Retainers After
Braces
After completing treatment with traditional braces, retainers are essential to keep your teeth in their new positions. Braces move your teeth gradually, and without a retainer, they may shift back over time. Retainers help maintain the alignment achieved, ensuring your smile stays straight.
Invisalign
Invisalign aligners effectively straighten teeth, but retainers are still necessary once the treatment concludes. Your teeth need time to settle into their new positions, and retainers prevent them from shifting back, maintaining the results you've worked hard for.
Expanders
When expanders are used to widen the upper jaw, retainers play a critical role after the treatment. They help stabilize the newly expanded arch and ensure the space created doesn’t revert, allowing the results to hold firmly.
