Essix retainer is a clear transparent removable retainer which is made of a special thermoplastic material with special retainer making machine.
These retainers are made of an acrylic plate that covers the palate in the upper jaw and the lingual or inside portion of the lower jaw. Attached to the acrylic plate are the wire components.
This retention period varies from individual to individual. But for an average case it lasts between 06 to 12 months. Out of which initially the retainers needs to be wear throughout the day & night except while eating & brushing.
Followed by part time wear only in the night for 06 months.
After this the Orthodontist will decide after the periodic follow-ups.
Fixed retainer is made of thin steel wires twisted together to form flexible spiral (FSW) retainer OR a band of polymeric fibres. The retainer is bonded to the teeth usually on the inside surface of teeth using tooth colored composite resins. Since it is put on the inside surface of teeth it is not visible. With the fixed retainers the retention period varies between 2 to 5 years or more.
Retention is the final phase in your orthodontic treatment journey. Once your braces have been removed or Aligners are finished, you’ll enter the retention phase. This is when we ensure your newly straightened teeth stay in their new position and don’t slip back to their old ways.
When you’re done wearing your braces or aligners, your teeth can still shift back to their original position. This is because the gums, bones and the muscles & tissues of the mouth need time to adapt to the new positions the teeth are in. The retention phase of treatment ensures that your teeth stay in position.
This retention period varies from individual to individual. But for an average case it lasts between 06 to 12 months. After this the Orthodontist will decide after the periodic follow-ups.
Relapse of an Orthodontic correction will take place in mild to moderate form if Retainers are not worn as advised.
The teeth are in unstable position after the treatment because the fibers present in gums are disturbed and the constant pressure from Cheeks, Tongue & Lips produce relapse tendency.
