Retainers & Aftercare

“Will my
teeth stay
straight?”


Teeth move in response to forces.
This is how orthodontics works, by applying
controlled forces.
❝However, there are a constant forces on the teeth from the
tongue pushing forwards, the lip muscles pulling backwards, the forces from the
teeth biting together & the growth of the lower jaw throughout life.❞


These forces need to be managed
This is why we recommend lifetime retention.
Millions of people wear their retainers without disruption or inconvenience.
To keep things simple we recommend a
Fixed Retainer & a Removable Retainer.


The Fixed Retainer
is a thin wire bonded behind
the front 6 teeth.

The Removable Retainer
is a rigid plastic appliance to be worn at
nighttime and during the day
immediately following brace removal.

Straight White Teeth Glossary

Brace - orthodontic appliance used to move teeth
Upper jaw, upper arch, maxilla - the bone to which the upper teeth are anchored
Lower jaw, lower arch, mandible - the bone to which the lower teeth are anchored
Fixed brace - A brace bonded to the surfaces of the teeth. This can be fixed in front of or behind the teeth.
Removable brace - An appliance that moves teeth that is removable.
Orthodontic Relapse - The movement of teeth out of their final position back to the position they were in before. This
is caused by forces on the teeth from the lips, tongue, habits such as musical instrument practice and thumb sucking, and
wisdom tooth pressure, and jaw growth throughout life. Prevented by Fixed & Removable retainers.
Invisible / Clear Aligner - A rigid plastic brace that fits intimately over the tooth surface that causes gradual tooth
movement. Typically 0.5mm per aligner.


Clear fixed brace - A series of tooth coloured or transparent brackets (squares) that are bonded to the front of the
teeth which are used to direct the forces from a tooth coloured orthodontic wire.
Lingual brace - This is a brace that is bonded behind the tooth surface, it uses brackets and wires which are specially
designed for this.
Accelerated removable brace - A brace that can be removed that causes the rapid movement of teeth.
Invisalign - A brand of clear aligner
Inman aligner - A brand of accelerated removable brace
Fixed retainer - A thin wire that is bonded to the back surface of the front 6 teeth which is used to hold the teeth to
prevent orthodontic relapse.
Removable retainer - A rigid plastic appliance that is worn to help the teeth to set in the final position needed.
Expansion - The process of creating space for tooth movement by increasing the width of the jaw. Either done with a
special removable brace with a mid-line expansion screw.


Midline expansion screw - a screw in the middle of a brace which when turned increases the width of the appliance.
When this is worn in the mouth it will create
a corresponding increase in the jaw width.
IPR - Inter-proximal Reduction - the smoothing of the side surfaces of a tooth s enamel using a smoothing strip or a
bur.Typically done up to 0.4mm.
Extraction - The surgical removal of a tooth.
Enamel - The hard protective covering of the tooth.
Dentine - The hard but sensitive inner structure of the tooth
Anterior Open bite - This where when the teeth are fully closed in the normal position there is a visible space
between the edges of the lower teeth and the edges
of the upper teeth, meaning an inability to incise (cut) food.
Orthognathic Surgery, Jaw surgery - This is a surgery to correct a discrepancy in the shape / relationship of the jaws.


Attachments - These are tooth coloured small squares / triangles that are used by removable braces to grip onto teeth
so that they can be moved up/down and rotated.
Crossbite - This is where the lower teeth meet on the outside of the upper teeth.
The normal bite is the other way around.
Diastemma - A space between the teeth
Toothwear - The loss of tooth structure caused by grinding, bruxing and chewing.
Incisors - The front 4 teeth. There are 2 central incisors (2 front teeth) , and 2 lateral incisors (2 front side teeth)
Canines - The fangs or pointy teeth to the side of the lateral incisors.
Premolars - The biting teeth behind the canines. Typically most people have 4 of these in each jaw .
Molars - The square heavier back teeth.
Canine guidance - The way the teeth slide over each other when guided by the canines (pointy teeth). This should
cause the back teeth to separate.
