Orthodontic Retainers Laboratory

Fixed and Removable Dental Retainer Types

Fixed retainers, also known as permanent or bonded retainers, are used to maintain the position of the teeth after braces. Fixed retainers are cemented directly to the inner surfaces of the teeth, preventing movement and avoiding misalignment.

Removable retainers are appliances that can be taken out to eat and clean. They come in the form of clear plastic that covers your teeth, or a dental wire that is held in place with an acrylic plate moulded to the shape of your mouth.

Removable retainer options include:

Essix Retainer
Schwartz Retainer
Hawley Retainer
Begg Retainer

Fixed retainer options include:

Direct Bonding Retainer
