When we remove your braces, we will begin the retention stage of your treatment. The retention phase lasts for a minimum of 24 months. Your final orthodontic result depends on your retainers, so follow through with the hard work you’ve put in so far. Remember to remove your retainer before brushing, and brush your retainer before placing it back in your mouth.
Why retainers? The incorrect position of teeth is generally the effect and not the cause. That is teeth get crooked or have spacing for a number of reasons. Strong muscles, habits, or incorrect tongue position can all cause the teeth to be in the wrong position. Retainers help hold the teeth in the right position, even though these forces are still at play.
