RETAINERS
Retainers are essential to maintaining the improvement that has been achieved through orthodontic treatment. Retainers allow the teeth to settle into their new, corrected alignment permanently after years of correction through braces. Our in-house specialists will fabricate a personalised set of retainers to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit.
We will reproduce your overall dental structure through a personalised mould of your teeth. Based on this mould, we will design a retainer made out of wire and/or acrylic material. After the retainer is finished, our dental specialists will personally insert it on a separate appointment.
There are two kinds of retainers: permanent and removable. Each kind has its own distinct advantages
Permanent Retainer

- Great solution for patient that are forgetful
- Great solution for patients that had significant crowding or irregularity of the front teeth at the onset
Removable Retainer
- Simple to use as they can be removed
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Patient can still easily brush and floss teeth

Retainers are essential to maintaining the improvement achieved through orthodontic treatment. After years of correction through braces, retainers allow your teeth to settle permanently into their new, corrected alignment — preventing them from shifting back to their original position.
Our Orthodontist create a personalised mould of your overall dental structure. Using this mould, a custom retainer is fabricated from wire and/or acrylic material to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit. Once completed, our dental specialists will insert it during a separate appointment.
A permanent retainer is fixed in place, lasts for many years, and is ideal for patients who are forgetful or had significant crowding of the front teeth. A removable retainer, on the other hand, is easy to take out, simple to clean, and allows you to brush and floss normally — offering greater flexibility for day-to-day oral hygiene.
Permanent retainers are an excellent solution for patients who may forget to wear a removable retainer consistently. They are also strongly recommended for those who had significant crowding or irregularity of their front teeth at the start of orthodontic treatment, as they provide continuous, reliable support.
