What types and which are best?
Orthodontists use many different variations of retainers. Whether made with acrylic and wire, plastic, or wire only, each type, when carefully chosen, will hold or retain teeth in their new position if worn as instructed. Each orthodontist selects appropriate retainers for their patients based upon the orthodontist’s education and experience; patient stability, esthetic or functional need, and habits; and newly developed products.
