A common question is what retainer is used after treatment, and it’s one of the most important. Teeth can drift after orthodontics because tissues need time to stabilize and bite forces continue. Retainers protect the result and reduce relapse risk. At MilimDental, Dr. Begüm Ulaşan (orthodontist / orthodontic specialist) plans retention as a formal stage, not an optional add-on.
Retainers can be fixed (a thin wire bonded behind the front teeth) or removable (clear retainers worn on a schedule), and sometimes a combination is recommended for high-relapse cases. The best option depends on your initial crowding, bite pattern, hygiene habits, and risk factors such as clenching. Dr. Begüm Ulaşan provides a wear schedule, cleaning guidance, and retainer check-ups to ensure stability.
The true success of orthodontics is measured years later. A clear retention plan—type, wear timing, and follow-up—keeps your teeth stable and protects your investment in treatment.

Children’s oral and dental health is crucial for helping them develop lifelong habits and protecting overall body health. Neglected dental problems can lead to more serious issues in the long term. For this reason, it is important to establish daily oral care routines from an early age. In addition to daily care, children should visit the dentist at least twice a year.
