Retainers
There are two basic types of retainers: removable and permanent. A retainer keeps your teeth from moving after they’ve been straightened with braces or aligners. When used as instructed, a retainer prevents your teeth from shifting and help protect the investment you have made in your smile.There are 3 types of retainers:
- Removable retainers
- Permanent bonded retainers
- Hawley retainers
Always bring your retainers to every dental appointment and have your dentist check the fit and effectiveness of your retainer. Should a replacement be needed, your dentist will discuss your options with you.
