Tooth retainers are devices that serve to keep the teeth in the proper position after completing orthodontic treatment. Here we show how it works and what types there are.

00:00 Introduction:
At the end of orthodontic treatment, in some patients the use of retainers is advisable. We show how they work in this 3d video of the Pardiñas Dental Medical Clinic (http://j.mp/cPardinas​)

00:04 What is a retainer for?
There are occasions when after having undergone orthodontic treatment, it is necessary to place a retainer to prevent the teeth from moving.

00:10 External fixed retainer:
One ways to prevent this is by placing a bar or wire adhered to the inner face of the teeth with a resin that hardens by means of a special light.

00:28 The use of interdental brushes:
This will require special hygiene by the patient, since the use of conventional dental floss will not be possible. To do this, interdental brushes capable of correctly cleaning the space between the teeth are used.

00:48 Fixed retainer inside teeth:
Another technique consists of slightly preparing the surface of the teeth, creating a groove in which a special resincoated wire or fiber will go attached.

01:09 Removable retainer:
Another way to avoid this possible movement of the teeth once an orthodontic treatment is finished is to make a transparent splint, which the patient will normally need to put on at night to sleep.
