A member asked:
Can you explain what are the best type of retainers after braces?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends on your original problem, your level of compliance, and all the time and trouble your orthodontic specialist went to to diagnose your problem and establish a treatment plan that includes choice of retainers. Ask your orthodontist to explain the choice best for you.
