About Retainers

A retainer is a custom appliance worn after braces or aligners to keep the teeth in their new positions. Removable retainers are made of clear plastic or wire and acrylic, and fixed retainers are thin wires bonded behind the teeth. Many people need to wear a retainer long term, and the dentist or orthodontist explains how often to wear it.
