After braces, wearing a retainer is essential for maintaining the smile you've achieved. Without it, teeth can shift into their old positions, creating gaps or overlaps. As the mouth and gums adjust, retainers stabilize this new alignment. Regular use is important to counteract natural movements of teeth that happen over time due to aging or habits like grinding. Neglecting to use a retainer could lead to costly future treatments as teeth drift back to their original positioning.
Your teeth shift after braces, and you could notice gaps or overlapping teeth reappear, sometimes sooner than you'd expect.
Retainers help keep your teeth aligned while your gums and surrounding bone adjust to their new positions.
Ignoring your retainer may not seem like a big deal at first, but those shifts can accumulate over time until your smile looks less like the one you worked to achieve.
Consistently wearing your retainer can preserve the alignment achieved with braces and keep your smile looking its best.
