RETENEDORES
The use of retainers is very important after orthodontic treatment, since their purpose is to prevent your teeth from returning to their original position.
In Marlon Becerra Dentistry we want to help you maintain your smile, so thinking about your comfort and aesthetics we offer you several types of retainers that you can use, plus some tips for you to keep them and continue your treatment successfully.
Retainer systems:
- Aesthetic retainers
- Circumferential retainer
- Fixed retainer
RETENEDORES ESTÉTICOS
They have a transparent cover that adapts perfectly to the shape of your teeth, as it is custom-made. These retainers are removable.
¿Cómo limpio mi retenedor estético?
- Clean your retainer at least once a day to keep it free of bacteria and tartar build-up.
- Each time you remove it from your mouth, rinse it with water and your toothbrush without toothpaste.
- Remove your retainers before eating, do not wash them with hot water.
RETENEDOR CIRCUNFERENCIAL
This type of retainer is used to achieve maximum retention in the posterior teeth (molars) improving the anterior esthetics (central teeth). It is removable.
¿Cómo limpio mi retenedor circunferencial?
- Clean them with cold or lukewarm water.
- Rinse them with a toothbrush and a small amount of toothpaste.
- Brush it with neutral soap, or put it with disinfectant for 20 minutes.
General care for circumferential retainers
- Never wrap your retainer in a napkin or place it on the table during mealtimes.
- Siempre lleva contigo el estuche y guarda allí los retenedores cuando no los estés usando.
- Follow the treatment plan instructions.
- Clean your retainer at least once a day to keep it free of bacteria and tartar build-up.
- Always rinse your retainer after removing it.
RETENEDOR FIJO
The fixed retainer (bar glued to the inside face of the tooth) is considered the best option to avoid tooth movement, generally placed behind the 4 teeth at the top and behind the 6 teeth at the bottom. Among its advantages, it stands out for its aesthetics, since you can talk or smile without being noticed.
Indicaciones para cuidar tu retenedor fijo
- Avoid biting directly into hard objects with the front teeth.
- Avoid biting foods such as carrots, apples and/or candy.
- Attend your retainer checkups.
- If it becomes dislodged, make an appointment with your orthodontist.
It is very important that you have good oral hygiene with this retainer: So brush 4 times a day and check especially on the retainer part that the area is clean.
REMEMBER
The retainer is chosen by the professional according to the patient, diagnosis and treatment, but always thinking of providing the best functional and comfortable esthetic option. It is also your responsibility to schedule and keep your follow-up appointments.
