ORTHODONTIC RETAINERS
FIXED RETAINERS
Fixed Retainers are placed at the end of orthodontic treatments on the front Upper incisors and the lower incisors in order to prevent them from remising back to the original positions. We use the style portrayed in the image instead of a straight bar style as this style allows for teeth to still be flossed between.
SUCK-DOWN RETAINERS
Suck-down Retainers are made after fixed retainers are placed on both the upper and lower arches. They’re worn over the top of the fixed retainer. Almost like an clear aligner they’re clear and custom made to fit. Made thicker and stronger the suck down retainer needs to be worn at night time while sleeping.
