The mirror
What the patient sees. And what they don’t.
The first question is always the same: will it show? Pick a kind, then turn the mirror.
Clear retainer
From the frontA faint sheen, if they look for it.
Which one, when
Three questions pick it.
Just finished linkAlign?
Two clear retainers already come with every pack, so nothing to order. See linkAlign.
Want to adjust it at the chair?
A Hawley or a wraparound. The bow bends, the plate takes a labial resin pad if the case asks.
Lower front teeth, for years?
A lingual fixed or a V-loop. Bonded behind the six front teeth, nothing to lose, nothing for the patient to remember.
On your case
The finish stays on file.
The retainer is made from the scan of the finished arch, and that scan stays with the case. A lost one is reordered, not re-impressed, if nothing has moved.
- 01Scan the finish
Both arches in the post-treatment position, and the bite. Any scanner, or an STL.
- 02Name the kind, per arch
Removable, fixed, or one of each. Your master seats it on the model before it ships.
- 03Reorder from the same scan
The record stays on your case. A broken or lost retainer comes back from the same file.
