Retainers: protecting your orthodontic investment
Once orthodontic treatment is finished, the teeth tend to want to return to their original position. This phenomenon is called orthodontic relapse and is completely preventable with the correct use of retainers.
Types of retainer
Fixed or lingual retainer
A small wire that is bonded to the inner surface of the front teeth. It is permanent and the patient does not have to remember to put it in.
Removable Hawley retainer
The classic retainer with a wire and acrylic. It is worn at night or as directed by the specialist.
Clear retainer (Essix type)
Similar to an Invisalign aligner but with a purely retentive function. It is aesthetic and comfortable.
How long do retainers need to be worn?
The honest answer is: for life, although less frequently as the years go by. The first few months are the most critical.
Care of removable retainers
- Clean them with a brush and cold water (never hot, as they would deform).
- Keep them in their case when not in use.
- Do not wrap them in napkins (they get thrown away by accident).
- Bring them to every check-up so the specialist can verify their fit.

They keep the teeth in their new position once orthodontic treatment is finished. They are essential to prevent relapse — that is, the teeth tending to drift back to their previous place.

The teeth can shift and lose the alignment achieved. That is why it is important to follow the wear instructions and attend your follow-up check-ups.
