Another common question I get is about retainers, and types of retainers that we make. Our most popular retainer that we use is called the Essix Retainer, and that's a clear, almost like an Invisalign type of retainer. The reason it is so popular is that it works in a couple of good ways.
Once we take the braces off, we often see that patients may not be as compliant about wearing their retainers as we would like for them to do, so if teeth do shift or move a little bit, the Essix retainer, if worn more often, can actually move teeth back to that perfect alignment that you had the day the braces came off.
The older, traditional retainer that we had with the acrylic and a wire that went across the front is called a Hawley Retainer. We really don't use those a lot today, just depending on the result of the case; if we need settling in the vertical dimension, we can often do that. And even with an Essix retainer, we get some vertical settling, but sometimes we have to use a Hawley retainer in order to settle things. The problem with a Hawley retainer is that, if patients aren't as compliant with that retainer and teeth start to move, often once those rotations occur, we can't really gain them back without putting braces back on.
A common request that I get from patients, is the discussion about a fixed retainer, where we glue a piece of wire on the back of the upper or lower teeth. We do some in our practice, we always make a removable retainer that fits over the top.
But, one thing I see with a lot of our adults coming in today, that's very important to talk about with these fixed retainers. I tell patients, in order for a fixed retainer to be effective, we have to use a lot of glue and glue it on the back of each tooth that that retainer attaches to. So, what happens when we do that is it's very hard for patients to properly clean. And, eventually over time, plaque will start to build up. Because the composite is somewhat porous, it can absorb food and liquid particles, and often patients breath starts to smell. And often times, we look in there and it is the retainer. It's stained, it has a lot of bacteria built up around it.
The other downfall to the fixed retainer, is you can never bite into anything hard with your teeth. So if you ever want to bite into an apple, you can't do it with a fixed retainer. You have to cut it up and chew it on your back teeth.
That's why I tend to lean more towards the removable retainers, just because you can brush, you can floss properly, a lot easier to keep clean, you don't have to worry about your breath smelling, and you can eat whatever you want to; there is no maintenance factor associated with worrying about breaking the bond of the retainer. That's probably why it's the most popular retainer. Like I said, if you wear it properly, and teeth shift a little bit, you can shift the teeth back to where they're supposed to be.

I've had a permanent retainer for about 15 years, I never had any problems and I was never told I couldn't bite anything hard. I've bitten plenty of apples and hard things with no problems. This is all new information to me.
Are retainer are visible to you
For upper jaw fixed retainers best or not?
Kindly tell me
@@FEARLESSlife28 go google please! That’s why google exists
I get my braces off in 3 weeks and I'm so glad I chose the clear removable retainer ahead of time

Lavoun Galloway damn man my ortho keeps on forcing me to get permanent ones is it neccesary can i get clear ones !?
Just go to the hygienist every 6 months for a deep clean, to help keep on top of things.
Damn
I will be finishing with Invisalign in 4 weeks. I opt in for both, fix and clear retainers 🥳
How’s it going
@@AJ-zo4pr the treatment last 11 months, i am so happy after one year. I went for fixed retainers plus removable at night.
@@antigonooo you have to wear retainers for life?
@@AJ-zo4pr so, in my case I was suggested to wear it twice a week at night
@@antigonooo i wore it for 2 years. After that when i reminded them my teeth shifted back
I have both fixed and removable retainer..
I have the option of getting fixed retainers or removable retainers. I lean towards removable retainers, but that’s based on my belief that having metal in your mouth isn’t exactly a good thing. If you have the option to do without metal, I’m definitely taking it. But then again on the other side go the spectrum I do think fixed retainers are probably more reliable.
I'm getting both after invisalign. I didn't get a choice, I was just told that this is what's gonna happen.
Hi I have a perminant retainer just recieved my removable retainers today should I wear both of them at the same time
Fann Of all how much do permanent retainers
I am wearing temporary retainer along with that fixed reatiner so is there any problem with like to wear boh retainers
Have u ever had a reply to this?
I would really like to know since I'm also wearing both.
@@nirupamanroop4671 it's good to wear your retainer, even better if both 🙂
My Essix does not work so I am having a permanent retainer fitted in tomorrow. I rather keep the removable retainer thanks.
can you wear both at the same time?
Fixed retainers are best for upper jaw?
Thank u for this video. I am now well informed
Which one is the best i get two option permanent and removable so which i choose ..? And one thing more i want to enjoy my food and comfort also important which one best..?
Permanent one
@@susmitadey1450 Why
I got my braces off about two weeks ago, I got the clear retainers and the next the my bite opened my retainers ruined my bite so I had to get them back on 🤦🏻♀️
I have a fixed retainer on top and bottom, essix on bottom and Hawley on top
How long should you use each of them? Did they tell you?
@@АлександраЛ-т3х for the rest of your life, otherwise the teeth will shift
So removable retainers can get teeth back if they get shifted during time?I thought that their job was just to keep teeth in place
I have the Fix Retainers and the Hawley Retainer
PLEASEE HELP!!
I just got my braces removed today and i cant bite at all because of the glue of my fixed retainer.... and its driving me CRAZYYYYY.. what should i do
Jupiter a can u bite now?
What did you do?
I have a fixed retainer put in without permission. Im 15.
Chicken Films Inc. Oml same I didn’t get to choose whether or not I wanted a fixed retainer I barely realized that that it’s stuck with me forever -
SAME!! I'm 15 and I got a fixed retainer behind my front 2 top teeth under the NHS (so my gap doesn't reopen) as well as the normal plastic night retainers. but I'm SO torn as I can't close my mouth as the retainer is clashing with my front bottom two teeth WHAT SHOULD I DO HELPPPP
Had perminant put on today didn't get a choice already hating it , how long should it be on until removable
Im getting mines removed today!!But i got it for 2 or 1 year well..I got it in 3rd grade . Hope this helps ♡♡♡♡
+Audrey Pantor have to have my perminant retainer and have to put Essex retainer in during the nights , first time today hope it doesn't hurt
@@fannofall2772 hey how was your experience then?
Wait so you get to choose three different retainers
i disnt get to choose i just got the plastic clear one for day and night but it can just be night
Queen Hailey My orthodontist asked do I want fixed or removable retainers then I asked whats the difference and said ill need the fixed retainers lol so theyll decide which is best for the patient
I couldn't choose I got a Hawley retainer
I got my lower braces off today.. Got the fixed retainer.. Anyone else feel like they added an extra layer of tooth enamel?
Indian Brace Face ah same
@@lenawimmer5677 bracemates lool😂😂😂..
Indian Brace Face haha Hey my barcemate😂
Same
Am in the exact same situation now 🤡
Great video.
The orthodontist asked me to use both,fixed and removable retainers!
Same, right now I’m hating the fixed retainer
eh the fixed retainer isn't too bad. it just feels a little weird but you'll get used to it.. idk y so many ppl r complaining lmao
@@bellabelle99 they are permanent? And y’a to me the only way u would have issue is if u just literally brush your teeth and your hygiene is trash which most people’s hygiene is garbage so it would make sense why they don’t want the permanent ones but how much did it cost u? Cause I might get it
@@Kirbypiles777 I'm not sure about the price, since I just paid for everything together-braces and all- which was like $5000. I personally prefer my fixed retainer, even though I just got my hawley retainer (I only have to wear at night). I had the fixed ones for about three months, and I've been treating them like I did with braces- brushing 2-3 times a day, using a water flosser, and mouthwash.
@@tinaz.6137 Damn bro I got braces for 500 dollars in india.
I have the lingual wire that’s on my bottom jaw behind my teeth and glued on both my canines except now the glue chipped off on one side
So how’s it now? Is it moving or what?
What's the name/type of the glue/ adehisive used to keep the fixed retainer glued to the teeth?!
Gc universal glue
i'm getting my braces off in a year, which i am so excited about. but my ortho told me which retainers i'll have instead of choice and he said i'll have two permanent retainers, upper and lower. and a removeable plate retainer/hawley retainer. i don't mind the hawley retainer if that's what he thinks is best for my teeth, but i am a bit worried about the permanents in case the have a build up of plaque
You mouth, your pick.
Ok but I’m confused I got both? I got the permanent one and the removable one and it doesn’t make sense
I got my braces off today along with a fixed retainer, and I had a lot of glue on it, but I kept licking it all day and it feels like there's less and less of it? Is what I'm doing wrong?
How r you now?
Very informative
I’m getting my braces 😬 off this week
TheSeriousComedy YT I got them off today :)
Nice!
I got one missing tooth growing 2 more to go and I get my retainers off 😢
I don't get a choice! They chose permanent for me! 😖😭
Carmony me too 🙁

I got a fixed retainer only.Are we supposed to get two different kinds of retainer?
Maisha Fairooz that’s what most people get, maybe speak to your ortho?
I'm getting a retainer tomorrow
Can i remove my fixed retainers
and even if i do will it affect my teeth??
I honestly want to remove mine right now. I hate it
@@valeyzia1632 same 😭
Well it depends if you will wear your removable ones, if you remove the permanent and don't wear your removable ones the teeth will shift, so wear your retainers!
@@hanihanihani4887 they're the permenant ones and i'm now used to it after almost an year,, ty❤❤
