Retain Your Smile with Custom Invisible Retainers Online

The day you get your braces off is a big day. You can finally eat all those foods that you haven’t been able to for months – maybe even years. However, don’t get so caught up in the excitement that you forget that your orthodontic treatment isn’t quite over. 

People used to think that when their dental braces came off that their teeth would stay that straight forever. However, in the last twenty years or so, research has shown that there isn’t one right position to move teeth that will guarantee a permanent result. Typically as people get older, their teeth shift no matter what, whether they’ve had orthodontic treatment or not.

Usually when your treatment ends, your teeth will have a natural tendency to move back to their original positions before you started treatment. This tendency lessens over time, but it can be an issue for up to 18 months post-treatment.

There’s also another type of movement that is a much slower, longer lasting change that occurs over time. This is more than likely due to the gradual “uprighting” movement of the front teeth on the lower jaw. This occurs naturally with age, but this can cause teeth to crowd as they move closer to the tongue.

Undergoing orthodontic treatment will fix crooked teeth, but it won’t prevent these changes from occurring. The only guaranteed way to keep your teeth from shifting is by using an invisible retainer to keep them in the right position.

A retainer is simply a plastic or metal appliance that keeps teeth aligned after a patient has completed orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign. By using retainers, the teeth are literally being “retained” in their new position.

You should not wear your teeth retainer when you are eating because it will cause the plastic to crack. Take it out if you are going to drink hot coffee or tea. To insert or remove your custom invisible retainer, use both hands and push on or pull off evenly with your thumb and index finger. It may take several days for your tongue to get used to your teeth retainer and then your speech will return to normal.
