Dental Retainers - Best Hollywood Smile Clinic in Dubai

What are Dental Retainers?

Retainers are orthodontic appliances that maintain straight teeth. Patients typically use Invisalign or braces in addition to them or as the next step after them.  They are removable plastic appliances with or without a single wire in the front and can be used as retainers and fixed wires attached to the backs of the lower and upper front teeth.  

 

For children with a tongue push, a condition in which the tongue slides beyond the teeth when they talk, the usage of retainers is specifically designed to train the tongue not to move when speaking. Retainers are used to keep the teeth in their proper positions after getting orthodontic treatment. 

Conditions That Can Be Treated Using Dental Retainers

Signs that you or your child may be a candidate for orthodontic appliances include:

  • TMD may result from poor jaw posture (growth and habit disorders), which causes teeth to emerge unevenly or not at all, which leads to TMD (temporomandibular joint disorders). 
  • Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea are two examples of sleep disorders.
  • For complete mouth restoration and smile makeovers, stabilisation is necessary.
  • Early or late tooth loss in babies can result in crowding, impacted teeth, crooked teeth, or spacing issues.
  • Teeth that are crowded misaligned, projecting, or blocked out (perhaps by an impacted tooth).
  • Facial asymmetry or imbalance.
  • Teeth are clenching or grinding.

Two Different Types of Dental Retainers

Removable

They can be taken out and put back daily by your child. The retainers can come in either wire (made of wire and plastic) or clear (plastic-like trays made of transparent plastic).

Fixed

A bonded retainer is a thin, custom-fit wire that is bonded on the inside of the upper or lower teeth. It is usually recommended as a follow-up to orthodontic treatment, as it helps keep the teeth in place.

Frequently Asked Question

We provide a range of dental services at Hollywood Smile Dental Clinic, from cosmetic dentistry to regular oral health services. 

Ensure that your retainers are constantly positioned correctly. Ensure that they don't "flip" around. Please do not leave your retainers in a hot vehicle or hot water (such as boiling them or putting them into the dishwasher.) Because they are heat sensitive, they will warp or melt.

Since retainers are essential for health, even if it has been a while since we last checked your retention, call our office to make an appointment to have it repaired or rebuilt. 

Most patients can typically afford the cost of a retainer. Depending on your treatment plan and retainer choice, you should budget between $100 and $400.
