Preserve Your Smile with Custom Orthodontic Retainers at Apollo Dental Clinic, Suchitra
After completing braces or aligner treatment, the final step in maintaining your perfect smile is wearing a retainer. At Apollo Dental Clinic Suchitra, we provide customised orthodontic retainers to ensure your teeth stay in their new, corrected positions. Without proper retention, teeth naturally shift back to their original misaligned positions.
Our retainers are crafted for comfort, durability, and effectiveness—supporting the long-term success of your orthodontic treatment.
What Are Orthodontic Retainers?
Retainers are removable or fixed appliances designed to hold teeth in place after orthodontic treatment. They help maintain the results achieved through braces or aligners and prevent relapse.
Types of retainers we offer:
- Removable Hawley Retainers – Acrylic and wire design, durable and adjustable
- Clear Plastic Retainers (Essix) – Transparent, discreet, and comfortable
- Fixed Retainers (Bonded Wires) – Cemented to the back of teeth for continuous support
Why Are Retainers Important?
- Prevent teeth from shifting after braces
- Maintain bite alignment and spacing
- Help stabilise bone and gum structure
- Essential part of post-orthodontic care
When and How Long to Wear Retainers
- Initially, retainers are worn full-time (except while eating and brushing)
- After a few months, most patients switch to night-time wear
- Retainer use may be lifelong depending on your case
Our dentist will guide you on the schedule that best fits your dental structure and treatment history.
Care Tips for Retainers
- Clean removable retainers daily with soft toothbrush and water
- Avoid hot water that can warp plastic
- Store in a dry case when not in use
- Fixed retainers require regular brushing and flossing

FAQs – Orthodontic Retainers
- Q1. Can I eat with my retainer on?
No, removable retainers should be taken out while eating to avoid damage or staining. - Q2. How often should I replace my retainer?
Typically every 1–2 years, or sooner if it cracks or no longer fits well. - Q3. What if I lose my retainer?
Contact the clinic immediately for a replacement to avoid tooth movement. - Q4. Are retainers uncomfortable?
There may be slight pressure initially, but they’re generally very comfortable once you adjust. - Q5. Can retainers fix shifting teeth?
No, they only maintain position—not move teeth. Relapsed cases may need additional orthodontics.
