When your orthodontic treatment is complete, the next important stage is called retention. During this time, your teeth need to be held in their new positions to prevent them from slowly shifting back (a process known as relapse).
This is done with the help of retainers, which may be either fixed or removable. Your orthodontist will recommend the type best suited for you and guide you on how to care for it.
Wearing your retainer as advised will help protect your new smile and ensure your treatment results last for many years to come.
