After teeth are moved, their position needs support. A retainer is part of the orthodontic plan rather than an optional accessory. The orthodontist chooses the construction and use schedule for your situation.
Understand your retention arrangement
A removable tray is worn according to the agreed regime. A fixed element is attached to teeth but still needs checking. Methods may be combined. Position and schedule depend on earlier treatment and the risk of change. Do not copy someone else's instructions. Ask for a clear explanation of wearing time and review dates.
Keep the construction clean and checked
Use appropriate cleaning methods and a case for a removable retainer. Hot water can distort some materials. A fixed retainer makes attention to plaque-prone areas particularly important. The clinician can demonstrate interdental access. Check for cracks, changed fit or detached fixation. Retention does not replace normal tooth and gum care.
Respond to loss or damage promptly
Contact the centre if the tray is lost, damaged or no longer fits. Do not force a distorted appliance or use household glue on a fixed element. Delayed contact can make control of tooth position harder to restore. Tell Filigranno in Lutsk when active treatment ended and what happened. The administrator arranges the appropriate review. International patients should plan this care after returning home and include retention or replacement in the complete treatment budget.
