Children’s dental retainers are necessary after orthodontic treatment or for early loss of baby teeth.
1. After orthodontic treatment: Children’s retainers are usually necessary after orthodontic treatment. The purpose of wearing a retainer is to prevent the teeth from shifting so that the aligned teeth do not move out of place. Without retainers, bad habits such as biting the tongue and lips can cause the teeth to become uneven again. Therefore, it is necessary for children to wear retainers for orthodontic treatment.
2. Early loss of baby teeth: It is necessary to wear children’s gap retainers for early loss of baby teeth. Early missing teeth will affect the chewing function of children if they are not treated in time. Wearing a retainer can ensure the proper eruption of permanent teeth, prevent jaw elongation, and ensure the normal eruption of permanent molars.
When wearing a retainer for children, you need to pay attention to keep your mouth clean and hygienic, and if there is any abnormality, you should consult a doctor in time.
