Services Retention Retainer (clear) Following the removal of your braces you will be required to wear retainers as part of your ongoing care. This phase of treatment allows the bone and gum tissue to change and modify itself around the teeth in the new position. Failure to wear the retainers may result in movement and unfavourable changes; as the teeth are part of the body's biological system, there can be a natural tendency for teeth to move once braces are removed. Teeth will move as part of the growth and aging process.
To guard against this happening it is important that retainers are always worn as instructed by your orthodontist. Your final orthodontic result will depend very much on your cooperation and diligence during this phase of treatment. A retention program is individually tailored for each patient, which usually involves wearing removeable retainers and or fixed wires (bonded retainers).
Floss threader Flossing under a bonded retainer takes special care. The use of Superfloss which has a stiff threader on the end, or a Floss threader to pass the floss under the bonded retainer and below the gum line efficiently allows removal of plaque and debri. |
