What Is a Retainer?
Retainers are essential devices used after orthodontic treatment to maintain the alignment of your teeth. Once braces or aligners have successfully straightened your teeth, retainers ensure that your teeth remain in their new positions. They come in various types, including clear retainers, traditional acrylic and wire retainers, and bonded retainers. Each type is designed to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions, preserving the results of your orthodontic treatment.
