When you have minor misalignment that needs to be addressed, or if you have had teeth shift following treatment, then you could benefit from a custom orthodontic appliance. Our team can help with a permanent retainer. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about the benefits of an orthodontic retainer.
When Smiles Need a Retainer
A retainer is an orthodontic appliance that is worn in your mouth. For kids, teens, and adults, this could aid in orthodontic treatment to straighten your smile and provide even results. We may suggest one to help guide the growth of little smiles and prepare them for braces or Invisalign® aligners down the road. For teens and adults, we could use this as part of the process of addressing minor misalignment. If you have undergone orthodontic treatment and your teeth have shifted since then, we could use a retainer to help address this and offer more even results again.
Clear and Permanent Options
There are multiple options we can choose from. For example, we could use a traditional Hawley retainer, which is made from acrylic and stainless steel to create a less visible option. We could offer removable options that need to be taken out before meals or for speaking and cleaning. But when possible, we usually opt for the permanent retainer, one that is affixed to your smile and never removed.
These will be custom-made for your smile to ensure a proper fit and treatment with precision, and they will be attached to the rear molars to secure them in place. We could also use them to ensure your teeth don’t shift at all following your treatment course with braces or Invisalign® aligners.
Caring for Your Smile
Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure you care for your smile and clean your retainers during treatment, so you avoid issues like teeth stains, cavities, or periodontal concerns. We will monitor your smile during periodic visits to the office too. If you have any questions about how we help smiles of all ages with our permanent retainers, or if you want to schedule a visit now, then contact our office today.
