If you are thinking about getting braces or are about to have your braces removed, it’s a good idea to look into what type of retainer you will use after your braces are off. Each type of retainer has some advantages and disadvantages, so be sure you talk to your orthodontist about your options. Vacuum-formed transparent plastic (Essix) retainers have become popular in recent years, but there are other inconspicuous alternatives to plastic retainers that we offer at Advanced Orthodontic Care in Cherry Creek, Denver.
Hawley Retainers
When most people think of a dental retainer, they think of the Hawley Retainer. The Hawley Retainer has the classic acrylic arch, plus the wire that goes around your teeth. The Hawley Retainer is adjustable, so our Denver orthodontist Dr. Robert Rudman can keep it fitting nicely to keep your teeth in their beautiful, straightened position.
To find out more about your options for retainers after braces, please contact Advanced Orthodontic Care in the Cherry Creek neighborhood of Denver, Colorado.
