While you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, you should know about the various retainers available because you will need to wear retainers once the orthodontic treatment is over. The braces or the clear aligners are going to straighten your smile, correct the bite, but when they are permanently removed from the mouth, retainers take their place. Retainers are too important because they help your teeth adjust to their new positions. Failure to do so will make your teeth shift again to their previous position rendering your treatment useless.
For this, you need to know the kind of retainers available in the market. The following are the most common retainers that you will be advised to wear:
1.The clear retainers that we very much like the clear aligners. The way you used to wear your Invisalign trays, you should wear these retainers as well. They too are removable and your orthodontist will tell you how much time you need to keep them in your mouth.
2.The traditional Hawley retainers are made of acrylic material. This is a permanent retainer and it is attached to the roof of the mouth. It is not visible as it rests on the roof, but as it is permanent, you cannot take it off on your own.
3.There is another fixed/permanent retainer, which is similar to the braces we wear.
You can reach out to us for the treatment of Invisalign in Aurora.
