Retainers are used to maintain the teeth in their corrected position while the bones, muscles and ligaments adapt to the new position of the teeth. There are several types of retainers available. The most common are

Bonded Retainer – the most popular Retainer used for the lower front teeth; the Bonded Retainer may be glued permanently in place to prevent tooth movement after Orthodontic treatment.

Clear Retainer – the most popular Retainer used for the upper front teeth; the Clear Retainer is worn while you sleep.

Plate Retainer – the Plate Retainer is used on either the upper or lower teeth to ensure teeth do not shift out of position after Orthodontic treatment
