Orthodontic treatment can help fix the patient\u2019s teeth and set them in the right place. Orthodontists usually use braces and clear aligners to set the patient\u2019s teeth. Orthodontists work on reconstructing the entire face rather than focusing only on teeth. After a course of active orthodontic treatment, patients will typically wear retainers (orthodontic devices), which help to maintain the teeth in their improved positions while surrounding bone reforms around them. The retainers are generally worn full-time for a period, anywhere from just a few days to a year, then part-time (typically, nightly during sleep) for as long as the orthodontist recommends. It is possible for the teeth to stay aligned without regular retainer wear. However, there are many reasons teeth will crowd as a person ages, whether or not the individual ever experienced orthodontic treatment; thus there is no guarantee that teeth will stay aligned without retention. For this reason, many orthodontists prescribe night-time or part-time retainer wear for many years after orthodontic treatment (potentially for life). Adult orthodontic patients are more likely to need lifetime retention<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"btClear btSeparator bottomSpaced noBorder\" ><hr><\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_before_after_image\"><div class=\"bt_bb_before_after_image_title bt_bb_before_after_image-container twentytwenty-container\" id=\"container950\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drmina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/before.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bt_bb_before_after_image-before_copy\" src=\"https:\/\/drmina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/before.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drmina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/after.jpg\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section id=\"bt_section69d29a9f1d721\" class=\"boldSection gutter\" ><div class=\"port\"><div class=\"boldCell\"><div class=\"boldCellInner\"><div class=\"boldRow \" ><div class=\"boldRowInner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4751","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/drmina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/drmina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/drmina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drmina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drmina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4751"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/drmina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4751\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/drmina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
