Retainers
After the active orthodontic treatment has been completed, retainers will be placed so that the alignment of your teeth will be maintained and held and will likewise result to the improvement of your bite. Retainers can be permanent or fixed but there are some that are removable. However, there is a possibility that after the orthodontic treatment, the teeth will not be aligned properly. This can happen as you grow or even in your adulthood. The purpose of retainers is to prevent those unwanted changes from happening. If you will not wear retainers, the problem may revert to some degree and correction will be hard to achieve again. It is always best to follow doctor’s instruction so you will get your money’s worth.
