After completing an orthodontic treatment, it is recommended to use a retention device, which can either be made of plastic or of a metal wire.
If teeth are straightened by means of braces or aligners, the achieved result must be stabilised and maintained in the long term to prevent the teeth from moving back into their old, unwanted position. This phenomenon is called relapse.
Fixed retainer
The wire retainer is not included in the standard aligner set. A bonded retainer offers the benefit of eliminating compliance concerns. You will unquestionably wear it as it cannot be removed. These teeth retainers are made of a body-compatible stainless steel wire that is precision-milled and can remain in the mouth for many years. The wire is bonded to the back of the front teeth using an adhesive bonding technique. It is not removable, but completely invisible as it is behind the teeth. The fixed retainer costs 3750 SEK. per jaw.
Removable retainer
We always include free retainers in the standard packages. This is a recycled plastic aligner that is almost identical to a regular aligner, but it is a little thicker and stronger. The purpose of this retainer is to keep the teeth in the achieved position after the aligner treatment. This device should be worn exclusively at night. For the first 12 months after treatment, it is recommended to wear it every night. After that, 3 nights a week is sufficient.
