Myoretainr^® 

Maintaining the stability of orthodontic treatment outcome in the long term is a challenge. Studies have shown that even when a good, well functioning occlusion is achieved, there is a tendency towards relapse. Our results suggest that relapse can be expected after orthodontic treatment, irrespective of the use of long term fixed retainers (American Journal of Orthodontics, Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2017;151:1027-33.).

Once orthodontic treatment is completed, retainers are used to maintain the position of the teeth in good alignment for an extended period of time. Most commonly now, fixed retainers are used on the upper as well as lower front teeth after orthodontics with braces or aligners. However, if you are a mouth breather or have incorrect swallowing habits, the dental alignment and the arch form may still relapse over time due to these habits.

The Myoretainr^® can be used by itself instead of using fixed retainers or over the fixed retainers to prevent this relapse and also help with correction of your mouth breathing and incorrect tongue and oral muscular habits.
