When we talk about getting braces done in today’s scenario, the first thing that comes in our mind is the clear plate thing which everybody is talking about calling them ALIGNERS.

There are certain things to keep in mind especially when it comes to caring for your retainers to ensure better hygiene and durability. Retainers are quite low maintenance appliances, so just few simple steps will help them do their job well.
Retainers as the name suggests are meant to RETAIN the newly aligned teeth in their respective positions.
Yes, retainers are as important as your braces treatment if you want your teeth to remain in alignment.
Otherwise there is always a tendency for tooth to go back to their previous positions and become crooked again.
Retainers can be fixed or removable depending on the preference and need.
Your braces doctor will best guide you If you need both or either of them.
Fixed retainers are made with very thin wires and are fixed on inner surface of the teeth so no one can see them . You don’t feel them too and get adapted to them in one to two days.
Furthermore, it’s very easy to brush and maintain oral hygiene with fixed retainers and there is no need to get them removed atleast for couple of years.
Yes. Removable retainers can be worn at night too but that decision lies with your braces doctor. You clean them the similar way you brush your teeth and rinse the retainers in running water after removing and before wearing them.
Firstly don’t panic. Take an appointment with your braces doctor and get them fixed or get a new one made.
Retainer wear protocol is different for different cases. Generally you have to keep the retainers for about 2years to stabilize the teeth in new positions.
