Orthodontic Retainers and Plates

Retainers are the last step in orthodontic treatment. These appliances, which are just as important as your braces, keep your teeth in their new position.

Dental Clinic offers custom-made retainers as part of your comprehensive orthodontic care to ensure that the growth you’ve made is maintained.

Orthodontic plates can be used to carefully adjust jawbone growth and arrange teeth in young children who have specific problems with tooth or jaw alignment.

A retainer or orthodontic plate is made of plastic or wire and is shaped to fit around the top or bottom teeth in order to hold them in place or gently move them into the desired position.

Early use of orthodontic plates can reduce or eliminate the need for braces later in life. In order to maintain the position of the teeth after braces treatment, retainers are frequently worn.

Retainer treatments differ depending on your situation. Our orthodontist will determine which type of retainer is best for you. For more information, contact the team ASAP.
