Preserve Your Perfect Smile with 3D-printed Retainers

So you decided to take the plunge and prioritize your dental health, following the footsteps of 65% of Canadians who have visited dental professionals at least once in the past 12 months. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is the secret to avoiding potential dental problems in the future. This initiative is a great way to achieve that.

But it's important to remember that a new smile needs proper care to last longer. With recent advancements in dentistry, you can now get personalized retainers to preserve your investment in orthodontic treatment.

Let's sink our teeth into the world of 3D printing and how it can help you achieve a lifetime of confident smiles.

The Science Behind Your Shifting Smile

You might be wondering, “Why do I need a retainer? Aren't my teeth set in place after braces or Invisalign?” While your current braces might be doing a fantastic job of straightening your teeth, the tissues and bones around your teeth need time to adapt to their new positions. Without a retainer, your teeth may gradually shift back toward their original placement, undoing all your hard work and progress.

Your Smile's Best Friend

The best orthodontists use 3D scans of your teeth when designing retainers to guarantee maximum comfort and a precise fit. Revolutionizing the process of creating retainers eliminates the need for messy dental impression molds. It speeds up the production of your retainer,  ensuring a lifetime of a beautiful smile. Think of them as a gentle hug for your teeth, ensuring they stay perfectly aligned.

Choosing the Right Retainer for Your Lifestyle

Ask your orthodontist about the variety of retainer options that suit your lifestyle and preferences:

• Classic removable retainers have a comfortable acrylic base that fits the roof of your mouth or the inside of your lower teeth. A metal wire gently tugs your teeth to keep them in place. It's convenient because you can take it out for eating and cleaning.

• Clear, transparent retainers are nearly invisible, making them a discrete choice for those who want to maintain discretion. They are easy to clean and remove.

• Fixed retainers are the best option for those worried they might forget to wear them. They are permanently bonded to the back of the teeth and provide continuous support.

Your Investment in a Lifetime of Smiles

Don't let your hard-earned smile transformation fade off into the distance. Following proper care instructions and wearing your retainer as directed can help you enjoy the ongoing benefits of your orthodontic treatment for years to come.
