Orthodontic treatment doesn’t end when braces or aligners come off.
After teeth are moved into a new position, the surrounding bone and tissues still need time to stabilize. Without proper retention, teeth can gradually start shifting back — a process called relapse.
This is why retainers are such an important part of long-term orthodontic success.
For smile design, braces, aligners, and orthodontic treatment, consult Dr. Latika Dhawan at Skin ’n Smiles, Gurgaon.
