Retainers are used after orthodontic treatment to prevent any movement of teeth back towards original position. There are different types of retainers; we at Dr Chopra Dental Clinic, New Delhi, Inida ( 91-9801478912) decide after evaluation the type of retainer you need.

Permanent Lingual bonded
retainer – a thin wire bonded on inside
surface of your front teeth. This is not visible from outside to anyone . The
patient does’nt feel any discomfort while eating and speaking. The retainer is
generally left for a year. Patient must get regular scaling or cleaning done to
avoid any tarter deposition around the wire
.Hawley Retainer is made of acrylic and metal. The acrylic goes behind
your teeth and up against your upper palate; the metal wire is in front of your
teeth.
An Essix Retainer is clear plastic and looks like an plastic aligner tray. Many people want this type of retainer, but it has its disadvantages, as it covers the biting surface of your teeth, they do not "settle" properly after treatment. For this reason, sometimes we give a patient both types of retainers: an Essix Retainer to wear during the day when they are people-facing, and a Hawley Retainer to wear at night when they are home sleeping.
No matter what type of retainer your get, the most important thing is to wear it exactly as the way we have recommended to the patient. Most people need to wear their retainers 24/7 for at least 6 months, then switch to wearing it only at night when sleeping.
