What Are Permanent Retainers?
Permanent retainers, also known as fixed retainers, are slender wires custom-fitted and bonded to the inner surface of your teeth. Unlike removable retainers, permanent retainers are cemented in place, offering continuous support to keep your teeth aligned.
This solution is ideal for preventing teeth from shifting after orthodontic treatment, ensuring your smile stays straight without the need for nightly removal or adjustment.
Why Do You Need a Permanent Retainer?
After completing orthodontic treatment, the surrounding structures of your teeth—such as gums and bones—require time to adapt to their new positions.
Everyday activities like chewing and grinding can cause slight shifts in your teeth over time. Permanent retainers help prevent this by maintaining alignment, minimizing the risk of malocclusion (a misalignment of teeth). At Smile Envy Dental & Orthodontics, our permanent retainers offer a long-term, hassle-free solution for maintaining your beautiful smile.
