PASSIVE ORTHODONTICS
Retention Phase
After the so-called “active” phase of orthodontic treatment, it is essential to maintain the results achieved.
This means holding the teeth in place—a process known as retention.
Retention ensures that your teeth stay in their final, corrected position.
If you want to avoid your teeth shifting again—or needing a new treatment later on—it’s crucial to follow this step carefully.
Retention typically includes:
- A bonded wire on the inner (lingual) side of the teeth
- Custom-made passive aligners for stabilization
