Orthodontic Retainers
Custom fixed and removable orthodontic retainers in Dubai for maintaining tooth positions after braces or clear-aligner treatment.
Why Are Orthodontic Retainers Needed?
Teeth can move after braces or clear-aligner treatment. Retainers help maintain the corrected positions while the supporting tissues adapt and reduce unwanted relapse.
Types of Retainers
Removable retainers fit over the teeth and are worn according to a prescribed schedule. Fixed retainers use a thin wire bonded behind selected teeth. Some patients may be advised to use both types.
The appropriate option depends on tooth positions, bite, oral hygiene, previous movement and the risk of relapse.
Wearing and Cleaning Retainers
Wear removable retainers exactly as instructed and store them in their case when not in use. Clean them using the recommended method and avoid hot water that may distort plastic materials.
Fixed retainers require careful brushing and interdental cleaning. Regular examinations help identify loose bonding, wire damage, plaque accumulation or unwanted tooth movement.
Lost, Broken or Tight Retainers
Contact the clinic promptly if a retainer is lost, damaged, loose or no longer fits. Do not force a painful retainer or attempt to repair it with household glue.
