Protecting Your New Smile

You’ve worked hard to achieve your perfect smile. Now it’s time to protect it. Retainers and proper aftercare are essential to maintaining the results of your orthodontic treatment.

Why Retention Matters

Without a retainer, your teeth may slowly shift back to their original position. At AuraDent™ Dubai, we help you safeguard your results with expert guidance—Keeping your smile beautiful long-term.

Why Retainers Are Essential: Preventing Teeth from Shifting Back

After orthodontic treatment, your teeth naturally tend to move back toward their original position—a process known as relapse. This is because the gum fibers and surrounding bone need time to adapt and stabilize after tooth movement.


Retainers play a vital role in holding your teeth in their new position while your mouth adjusts. Think of your retainers as the foundation supporting your new smile: without them, long-term results cannot be guaranteed.

Real Results, Real Smiles.

Types of Retainers at AuraDent™: Options for Every Lifestyle

At AuraDent™ Dubai, we offer a range of retainers to suit your personal needs and lifestyle:

Fixed Retainers (Bonded Retainers)

A thin wire is permanently attached to the back of your front teeth—usually the six lower or upper teeth.

• Benefits: Invisible and always in place, fixed retainers protect teeth without daily care.

• Types:

• Requires extra care when cleaning, especially around the wire.

• Using special floss or a floss threader is recommended to maintain proper hygiene.

• If the wire breaks or becomes detached, professional repair is necessary to prevent teeth from shifting.

Removable Retainers

Clear or wire-based plates that can be removed during meals and oral hygiene routines.

• Benefits: Easy to clean, comfortable during meals.

• Types:

• Hawley Retainers: Durable, adjustable, made of acrylic and metal.

• Clear Retainers (Essix): Nearly invisible and similar in appearance to Invisalign® aligners.

• Vivera Retainers: High-quality clear retainers from the makers of Invisalign®, known for their strength and comfort.

How to Care for Your Retainers? Aftercare Instructions

Removable Retainers

• Rinse with cool water after removal.

• Clean gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soap—avoid toothpaste to prevent scratches.

• Use retainer cleaning tablets once a week.

• Always store in the case when not in use, never wrap in tissue or leave exposed.

• Keep away from heat or direct sunlight.

• Follow your orthodontist’s instructions regarding wear time.


Fixed Retainers

• Use floss threaders or super floss to clean beneath the retainer wire.

• Attend regular dental check-ups to ensure the retainer remains intact and plaque-free.

FAQs

Retention is a lifelong phase of your orthodontic treatment. Initially, most patients are advised to wear their retainers full-time for several months. After this phase, retainers are typically worn only at night to keep your teeth stable. Wearing your retainer as recommended is the best way to protect your investment and maintain your straight smile long-term.
If your retainer is lost or damaged, it’s important to contact AuraDent™ Dubai immediately. Teeth can begin shifting within days if your retainer isn’t in place. Our team will help you replace your retainer as quickly as possible to prevent any unwanted tooth movement and protect your orthodontic results.
A tight feeling when wearing your retainer often indicates your teeth have started to shift slightly—usually from not wearing the retainer consistently. This tightness is a reminder that your retainer is working to reposition your teeth correctly. Continue wearing your retainer as directed to stabilize your smile and prevent further movement.
No, it’s recommended to remove your retainers during meals and when drinking anything other than water. Eating or drinking with your retainers in place can lead to staining, damage, and bacteria build-up. Always remove your retainers before meals and store them safely in their case.
With proper care, most removable retainers last several years. However, natural wear and tear can cause them to lose shape or fit over time. Depending on usage and type, you may need to replace your retainers every 1 to 5 years. Regular check-ups with your orthodontist will help assess when a replacement is necessary.
