What is a permanent retainer?
A permanent retainer is a thin wire bonded to the back of your teeth, usually the lower front teeth. It is fixed in place, providing constant support to prevent teeth from moving after braces or Invisalign treatment. Unlike removable retainers, permanent retainers require no daily effort to wear, making them ideal for long-term stability.
