What is a retainer?
First, one can understand that orthodontic retainers do not straighten teeth. Instead, patients wear them after orthodontic treatment to keep the moved teeth in their new position. If you do not wear them at the end of orthodontic treatment, your teeth will move. You need retainers no matter what type of orthodontic treatment you had- be it traditional brackets, self-ligating, lingual braces, or aligners.
