Retainers are necessary to preserve the results achieved through orthodontic treatment. After investing time and effort into straightening your teeth, it's crucial to prevent them from reverting to their original misalignment. When braces or aligners are removed, there is a natural tendency for teeth to shift back to their previous positions due to the pressure exerted by the surrounding tissues. Retainers counteract this tendency by providing a consistent force that helps maintain the corrected alignment. By wearing retainers as instructed by our orthodontist, you can ensure the longevity of your newly aligned smile and avoid the need for additional orthodontic treatment.
