Post Treatment
The phase of care and maintenance required after orthodontic treatment, such as braces or clear aligners, is known as the retention phase.
During this phase, your teeth settle into their new positions, and to prevent them from shifting back, custom-made retainers made of a fixed wire and removable clear plastic vacuum-formed appliances is provided.
In addition to maintaining the position of your teeth, the retainer also helps control the natural shifting of teeth that occurs with age.
To ensure the success of your treatment, it's crucial to wear your retainer as directed by your orthodontist, who will advise you on the duration and frequency of use.
Regular dental check-ups are also essential to maintain good oral health and monitor the stability of your teeth. By following your orthodontist's recommendations and practicing good oral hygiene, you can enjoy a straight, healthy, and beautiful smile for years to come
