Teeth Retainers in Dubai

Braces or Invisalign and dental retainers both have their importance in an orthodontic treatment plan. Retainers prevent teeth movement and keep them aligned in the final position at the end of treatment. Retainers play a vital role in the success of orthodontic treatment. Retainers allow teeth to stay in a corrected position for years after treatment. At DentalZorg, our dentist offers custom-made teeth retainers in Dubai to stabilize the alignment of teeth.

Types of Teeth Retainers

A retainer is thought to be the most crucial component of orthodontic treatment, as it maintains the health of teeth and keeps the smile in place. There are three types of retainers:

• Hawley Retainer: It is a combination of a plastic plate fit on the roof of the mouth. A wire runs across teeth and is connected with the plate. It is a removable metal retainer for teeth and comfortable to use with efficient results. These are mainly used after braces treatment.
• Clear Retainer: It is a clear tray molded to firmly fit on tooth surfaces. It can be used after any kind of orthodontic treatment: braces or Invisalign treatment.
• Lingual Retainer: It is a thin wire bonded on the backside of front teeth. These are permanent teeth retainers bonded or removed by dentists. These are provided to patients with high chances of relapse.

Tips for Adjusting Teeth Retainers

It is normal to face pronunciation issues while speaking. Retainers take some time to get adjusted to the soft tissues of the oral cavity unless Invisalign treatment is done. Patients with Invisalign treatment are used to wearing clear aligners. The following tips can help you to adjust retainers:

• Be patient: The retainer is a main element to guarantee long-lasting results. Oral soft tissues take one to two weeks to get the sensation of the tray in the mouth.
• Avoid sugary drinks: Liquids can easily go inside the retainer and do not leave until they have been washed off. It is advised to wash the retainer after having sugary drinks to avoid tooth decay.
• Oral hygiene: It is essential to maintain good oral hygiene during and after orthodontic treatment. Dental retainers can make it difficult because food particles can stay inside the retainers. Washing retainers after every meal can help maintain good oral hygiene.
• Regular dental checkups: Routine dental checkups with a dentist or orthodontist are helpful during retainers. The dentist can make fine adjustments if a retainer is hurting at any point.
