Retainers
Keep Your Smile Straight for the Long Term
Retainers play a crucial role after orthodontic treatment by helping maintain the new position of your teeth. Once braces or clear aligners have straightened your smile, retainers ensure those results last. At Dr. Anamika Jha’s dental clinic in Jamshedpur, retainers are provided as part of our comprehensive Orthodontics care, with guidance tailored to each patient’s needs.
Teeth naturally tend to shift over time. Wearing a retainer as advised helps prevent relapse and protects the time and effort invested in orthodontic treatment. According to the American Board of Orthodontics, retention is an essential phase of orthodontic care.
What Are Retainers?
Retainers are custom-made appliances designed to hold teeth in their corrected position. They are comfortable, easy to use, and made to fit your smile precisely.
Common types of retainers include:
Removable retainers – easy to take out for eating and cleaning
Fixed retainers – bonded behind teeth for continuous support
The British Orthodontic Society notes that retainers are necessary to maintain alignment after active orthodontic treatment ends.
Who Needs to Wear a Retainer?
Retainers are recommended for:
Patients who have completed braces or clear aligner treatment
Individuals with a history of teeth shifting
Children, teenagers, and adults following orthodontic correction
Dr. Anamika Jha provides clear instructions on how long and how often to wear your retainer for best results.

Why Retainers Matter
Skipping retainer wear can allow teeth to gradually move back to their original position. As explained by OrthoInfo by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, long-term retention is key to preserving orthodontic results.
