The retainer is one of the most important orthodontic tools that can be utilized. New Dental Images is an ideal place for orthodontic patients in the Sacramento and Elk Grove who may need a retainer.
A retainer can be used to improve one’s smile by keeping the areas around the teeth under control. The problem with having braces removed is that there is a good potential for one’s teeth to move into their old positions after a while. A retainer is used to gently keep pressure on the teeth so they will actually stay in their right places without risking any damages over time.
Retainers are designed with a custom-made appearance for one’s individual teeth. This can include a design that fits alongside the gums and spaces around the teeth. New Dental Images will use the right impressions to determine what the shape of the retainer should be so the patient will have the right option. This must work because every single person has a different set of teeth and will have specific requirements for a retainer no matter what it might look like.
The design on the retainer is made to where the wiring will keep the teeth intact and in traction for as long as necessary. It uses a system where the teeth will stay in the same place for as long as possible. In fact, the design can be made to where the retainer will be easy to remove as needed.
A retainer clearly has to be removed from eating and brushing purposes. Fortunately, retainers from New Dental Images are made with simple hook materials at the ends that make it easier to add or remove the retainer as required. These materials are not going to get in the way of one’s gums or the insides of one’s mouth. In fact, they will not harm the teeth and put them at risk of losing space either. It is a benefit that keeps the teeth healthy while also being to the convenience of the person who is using the retainer.
There is also the way how the texture can be made to where the retainer can be easy to clean with a standard toothbrush. A polypropylene or PVC material that is very thin can be brushed without bending or cracking. It should be done this way to keep the teeth healthy and capable of feeling comfortable without dealing with any odors that might build up after the retainer is used for a while.
