What is Retainer for Teeth?

A retainer is a custom-made dental appliance worn after orthodontic treatment (braces or clear aligners) to keep teeth in their corrected position. Retainers help prevent teeth from shifting back and ensure your smile stays aligned and healthy for years.

At KPS Dentalcare, we provide different types of retainers to suit your needs, from clear invisible retainers to durable wire retainers and protective night guards.

Why Do You Need a Retainer?

✅ To maintain results after braces or aligners
✅ Prevent teeth from shifting or becoming crooked again
✅ Support bone and gums while stabilizing new tooth positions
✅ Reduce risk of relapse after orthodontic treatment
✅ Provide protection from teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching at night
