The number of people
undergoing dental treatment to get perfectly aligned teeth or to solve the
problems like protruding teeth is increasing at a steady rate. The reason
behind the same is growing awareness of one’s looks and overall personality.
Since the smile of a person is the mirror of his or her personality, the use of
orthodontic treatments to ensure a perfect smile has increased. These
treatments usually last for a year or more depending on the severity of the
problem. Once the treatment is complete, the specialists recommend the patients
to wear Orthodontic Retainers. These
retainers are basically made up of a thin wire which may be temporary or fixed
and is bound at the back of the jaw. This ensures the teeth that have been
pushed inside to stay in their new position. This way, any problem like
disruption of the teeth from their new found position can be avoided.
The significance of these retainers in the field
of orthodontics is quite high because their function is to stabilize any
chances of teeth shifting away from their corrected position. These retainers
can be removable too and are usually worn for at least a year so as to retain
the results of the treatment.
