Retainer
Retainers are customized devices that help in preserving the alignment of your teeth. They are recommended by orthodontists after corrective treatments such as braces. Retainers help in aligning your bite rightly in place after reshaping or straightening procedures. Wearing a retainer might be inconvenient, but it’s a minor annoyance compared to having to wear braces all over again. Crooked teeth or a misaligned bite might be attributed to heredity. If you don’t wear a retainer after braces, your teeth will return to their pre-orthodontic state. If you disregard the retainer, you may get an orthodontic relapse, which may necessitate significant treatment. The teeth will shift in the years after braces are removed, but the magnitude of the movement will be determined by how often you wear the retainers. After your braces have been removed, orthodontists may recommend one of three types of retainers. Both kinds are used to restrict your teeth from shifting and to permanently fix them in their new position. At our clinic we offer quality treatment and retainers Abu Dhabi. We make custom made retainers Abu Dhabi for ensuring the satisfied results. Contact our clinic for more details about dental treatments and retainers Abu Dhabi.
Benefits of Using Retainers
With the braces off, your teeth would need something to hold it in place, and the job of wearing braces will only be completed when you have the retainers in place. Without the retainer, the teeth might tend to shift to its earlier position, making the efforts of the braces wasted. With retainers, your teeth will be in line, and you don’t have to worry about tongue thrust anymore. It would also help you avoid clenching the teeth. Retainers are good for the kids because it would help cover their speech impediments by helping with their tongue placement. Retainers can help prevent cavities and infections. Know how? When the teeth are properly aligned, you don’t have to be worried about infections because the food will not lodge in the mouth anymore, and there will be less instances of bacteria infestation.
Steps to Care for Your Retainer
It is very important to take care of the retainers, because then your retainers will remain functional for as long as possible. When you remove the retainer carefully scrub it with a mild toothbrush and water after each use. You don’t have to use the toothpaste on the retainer. Make sure not to scratch the retainer. And the water shouldn't be hot at all. It has to be slightly warm or lukewarm, or the heat will ruin it. Also, make sure not to leave the retainer in a hot environment because that would be bad as well. If you want to clear your retainer thoroughly, you can get a retainer solution and keep it soaked in that until you are ready to wear it again. Never pull the retainer out roughly from your teeth. That would damage it. Instead, dislodge it in several places in your mouth and then slowly pull it out. If you follow these tips there is every chance that your retainers will last really long. And of course, everything has a life, but you can definitely extend yours.
