Retainer Replacement in North Las Vegas, NV

PROS & CONS OF BONDED RETAINERS

Bonded retainers are permanent ones where wires are bonded to the back of your teeth. The material used to bond the wire can start to wear down over time with eating, brushing and flossing. Bonded retainers on the bottom teeth should last longer than bonded retainers on the top teeth. In fact, up to three years longer as the top part of your mouth sees less action that the lower. The wires can start to get loose without you even knowing. Your dentist should check it each time you go in for a checkup to make sure it’s still bonded well. Your teeth are harder to clean with bonded retainers. Having the wires permanently bonded to your teeth may start to bother you after enough time has passed. You can have your orthodontist remove them and switch to removable ones if that would suit you better.
