Retainers at Antalya Dental Hospital, Turkey
Retainers: What Are They, Benefits and Cost
Keep your new smile for a lifetime.
Wearing your retainers after your treatment is just as important as the treatment itself. Based on your treatment, your orthodontist will recommend the type of retainers that will suit you best.
The structures around your teeth take time to adjust to their new positions. Your retainers are fixed or removable little devices that will hold and stabilize your teeth in position after completing your treatment.

Good brushing, and cleaning in between the teeth, is the most important way of controlling bad breath. In the short term you can use mouth rinses, sugar-free gum and sugar-free mints. Many of the bacteria causing bad breath live on your tongue, so brushing your tongue or using a tongue scraper will also help.
If part of the wisdom tooth has appeared through the gum and part of it is still covered, the gum may become sore and perhaps swollen. This is called ‘pericoronitis’. Bacteria and bits of food can collect under the gum edge, and it will be difficult to clean the area properly.
This is a temporary problem that can be dealt with by using mouthwashes, special cleaning methods and possibly antibiotics. If the problem keeps coming back, it may be better to have the tooth removed.
The first thing to do is to visit your own dental team and get their advice. Your dental team will know whether you need treatment and will make the necessary arrangements.
Because the preparation of the tooth is so slight you will probably not need a temporary veneer. The tooth will look very much the same after preparation, but will feel slightly less smooth.
