We're Proud To Offer Retainers To Davie and Pembroke Pines
Children in their early teens might sometimes need functional appliances when normal braces will only fix one part of the problem: teeth alignment. Once our team at Angelakis Orthodontics diagnoses the alignment issue, an appliance may be necessary to address the ‘class II’ or bite problem. We offer both removable and fixed appliances here in Davie and Pembroke Pines.

Essix RetainersEssix retainers are used to maintain the bite after other orthodontic procedures. They are made of molded clear plastic and are vacuum-formed. The removable and totally clear aligners are practically invisible when worn. They cover the teeth completely, they don’t have any wires, and can be removed, so they don’t interfere with eating or oral hygiene. Fixed RetainersA fixed retainer will suit you if you want to have the type of teeth alignment system that you can put in your mouth and forget about. Fixed retainers deliver good long term results; far better than removable ones. A fixed retainer is normally placed behind your lower teeth (not visible to others) once your braces have been taken out and is basically just a wire that is ‘permanently’ bonded to your teeth and that will stay there for several years. It has the benefit for parents that their children can’t lose them! Removable RetainersRemovable retainers are meant to aid minor teeth alignment needs and to close small gaps between teeth. It is suitable for the person who only wants to wear one at night and take it out in the morning, and who is looking for normal, easy oral care without wires and brackets to worry about. While they are convenient, a lot of responsibility lies with the patient, because if they are not used as prescribed, treatment will be less effective. They are, however, durable and long lasting.
