Retainers After Orthodontic Bands

Orthodontic bands like Orthofill, Orthoband, and Ora-band are dental bands that are placed on the teeth to close the spaces between your teeth. These bands are worn at night and will slowly put pressure on the teeth to close the gap. There are different size bands depending on the gap you are trying to close.

After the desired gap is closed, a dental retainer is required to maintain the current position of your teeth.

At SportingSmiles we make custom retainers using our self impression kit.

SportingSmiles Impression Kit

From this impression we fabricate Essix retainers. Our retainers are available as either single retainers, or as upper and lower retainers. Just like orthodontic bands, the clear retainers are worn at night as you sleep.

Upper & Lower Dental Retainers

The retainers will not move your teeth. They are just designed to prevent the teeth from moving back to there original location.
