Retainer

A retainer is a device used to hold teeth in position after an orthodontic treatment.

Thanks to the retainer, tooth roots and jaw bones can get used to their new position better. Some orthodontic treatments require a retainer in order to prevent a relapse. bestsmile offers two retainer options: the wire retainer and the plastic retainer. The latter is an aligner that needs to be worn at night.
