Retainers are removable appliances that serve two purposes. First, after bracework, retainers hold or retain the correction achieved during treatment. In addition, with some simple problems, a retainer actually can accomplish the entire correction. This depends on what is wrong with your teeth and can only be determined after an evaluation by the orthodontist.
