Retainers (Maintain Your Perfect Smile)

· Those in Bangkok looking to keep teeth aligned after braces.
· Those who want to prevent teeth from shifting back.
· Those who want to support bone adjustment.
· Those who wish to maintain orthodontic results.
· Those who wish to achieve a lasting smile correction.

Retainers are custom-made appliances used after orthodontic treatment to maintain teeth alignment. They prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions, preserve treatment results, and support the natural bone remodelling process. Consistent use of retainers ensures long-term stability of the corrected smile.

Retainers are used after orthodontic treatment to keep teeth in their new positions. Retainers are placed over the teeth and worn as instructed, often full-time at first, then mainly at night. They are applied after braces or aligners are removed and must be worn consistently to maintain alignment.

Q1: How long should I wear Retainers?
A1: Retainers are usually worn full-time for several months after braces, then typically at night indefinitely to maintain teeth alignment. Consult with the dentist at our affiliated clinic to know the exact duration.

Q2: Can I wear Retainers without braces?
A2: Retainers are designed to maintain teeth alignment after orthodontic treatment. Wearing retainers without prior braces or aligners is generally not appropriate as they will not actively correct misaligned teeth.

Q3: Are Retainers painful?
A3: Retainers may cause mild discomfort or soreness initially as teeth adjust to being held in place, but this usually fades within a few days.

Q4: Can teeth shift even with Retainers?
A4: Teeth can still shift if retainers are not worn as instructed or if they become damaged. Consistent use is essential to prevent movement.

Q5: Can I eat normally with Retainers?
A5: Retainers that are removable should be taken out during meals to avoid damage. Fixed retainers allow normal eating but require good oral hygiene to prevent issues.
