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.

Total care toothpastes contain a number of ingredients to make them an effective ‘all-round’ toothpaste. They contain anti-bacterial agents, ingredients which help control plaque and prevent gum disease, fluoride to help prevent tooth decay and flavours which help to freshen the breath. They may also contain whitening or tartar-control ingredients.
White fillings have always been considered less long-lasting than silver amalgam fillings. But there are now new materials available that are comparable to silver amalgam, and these are proving to be very successful. The life expectancy of a white filling can depend greatly on where it is in your mouth and how heavily your teeth come together when you bite. Your dental team can advise you on how long your fillings should last.
Many things can cause teeth to crack, such as:
- Extreme tooth grinding, which can put the teeth under enormous pressure.
- Large fillings that weaken the tooth.
- Chewing or biting on something hard: for example ice, boiled sweets, fruit stones or meat bones.
- A blow to the chin or lower jaw.
- Gum disease, if there has been bone loss. This could make the teeth more likely to suffer from root fractures.
- Sudden changes in mouth temperature.
It is sometimes possible to change the way the jaws grow, using a functional brace. This works by using the power of your jaw muscles and can help with certain types of problem.
