Conditions Prevented with Orthodontic Retainers

Retainers are designed to prevent the relapse of various issues, collectively known as malocclusions. They hold teeth in their proper positions over time. Our orthodontic retainers help keep smiles straight and prevent the return of conditions like:
Overbite
When the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth excessively.
Underbite
When the lower jaw and teeth protrude forward past the upper teeth.
Crossbite
When one or more upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth when biting down; can happen on either side of the mouth.
Open Bite
The upper and lower front teeth don’t touch when the mouth is fully closed.
Protrusion
When the upper front teeth extend too far forward horizontally over the lower teeth.
Crowding
The most common reason patients get braces or retainers; when there is not enough space in the jaw for all the teeth to fit normally.
Spacing
The opposite of crowding; unnatural gaps between the teeth.
Misplaced Midline
The vertical center line of the upper front teeth doesn’t perfectly align with the center line of the lower front teeth.
