3M Clear Aligners
After your braces come off, your dentist is likely to recommend a retainer for you to wear. A retainer is a tool that can help keep your teeth in place after braces have corrected a problem like tooth or jaw misalignment. Your orthodontist in Needham, MA, can help you with a custom-made Essix retainer.
Why Are Retainers Necessary?
Braces and clear aligners help straighten and align the teeth. When the braces come off or when the aligners have done their job, your teeth could go back to their original position. A “retainer” is an orthodontic tool that helps keep the teeth in place. Without a retainer, your teeth could go back to being crooked again.
What Is An Essix Retainer?
Traditional retainers have wires that wrap around the teeth to keep them in position. Essix retainers are made from clear plastic material, similar to a clear aligner. Essix retainers are more subtle than traditional retainers. They’re easy to remove and keep clean. Essix retainers are also difficult to see.
