A common question is what retainer is used after treatment, and it’s one of the most important. Teeth can drift after orthodontics because tissues need time to stabilize and bite forces continue. Retainers protect the result and reduce relapse risk. At MilimDental, Dr. Begüm Ulaşan (orthodontist / orthodontic specialist) plans retention as a formal stage, not an optional add-on.
Retainers can be fixed (a thin wire bonded behind the front teeth) or removable (clear retainers worn on a schedule), and sometimes a combination is recommended for high-relapse cases. The best option depends on your initial crowding, bite pattern, hygiene habits, and risk factors such as clenching. Dr. Begüm Ulaşan provides a wear schedule, cleaning guidance, and retainer check-ups to ensure stability.
The true success of orthodontics is measured years later. A clear retention plan—type, wear timing, and follow-up—keeps your teeth stable and protects your investment in treatment.
