It is essential to wear your plastic retainer after your braces come off.
Why do I have to wear a retainer after successful orthodontic treatment?
Retainers are designed to hold teeth in place after your braces are removed. They are usually made of wire, plastic or a combination of both.
Braces straighten teeth by applying pressure. Like a tree bending in the breeze, they usually want to return to their original position once the pressure is gone — especially with young patients who are still growing. Retainers increase muscle memory and keep teeth in place.
Retainers ensure that the results, where so much effort has been involved, are maintained over time.
Once your braces are removed, please wear a retainer to keep your beautiful Bachmannsmile.
