You cannot wait to remove your orthodontic appliance and admire your new smile, but you were told to wear the orthodontic restraint?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Orthodontic restraint, why? Let’s explain it in simple words.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It may seem like the treatment is being protracted, but remember that the orthodontic restraint is essential to keep the results you have reached.\u00a0<\/span>
\nWithout this device your teeth will tend to return to their initial position…<\/span><\/h5>\n

Were you told that after removing the fixed appliance you need to wear a mobile one for some time?\u00a0<\/span>
\nIf it sounds like you are about to start a new treatment period, this is not the case since, as far as effort and aesthetics, the restraint is nowhere near comparable to the appliance.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s find out WHY the orthodontic restraint is so important.<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

However, in order to keep the results obtained, it will be necessary to wear a restraint appliance without which teeth will tend to go back to their initial position because, as all other organs, they have a “position memory” which they tend to summarize, especially if they are stressed by the pressure exercised by chewing or tongue, lips and cheek muscles.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For this reason, the restraint period is extremely important<\/strong><\/span> and is part of the orthodontic treatment to all effects. It should not be underestimated, penalty the risk of losing the dental alignment earned with commitment.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The restraint appliance acts like a dental maintenance force until the bone growth<\/span> of the maxillaries and the stomatognathic system has been completed.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
